Correct answer

  • CMayor, para así disponer de más tiempo y espacio para reaccionar.More, so as to have more time and space to react.
Explanation

In rain, fog or ice, braking distance increases and visibility decreases, so the gap to the vehicle in front must be greater: this gives you time and space to react to anything unexpected.
