Correct answer

  • CMirar más lejos por delante de nuestro vehículo.Look further ahead of our vehicle.
Explanation

When speed increases, the braking and reaction distances are also greater, so we must anticipate more what we will need to do, because the distance covered every second will be greater. For example, in one second at 40 km/h we travel 11 metres, whereas at 80 km/h we travel 22 metres.
