Correct answer
- ASe puede mejorar la adherencia con cadenas o neumáticos con clavos.Grip can be improved with chains or studded tyres.
On an icy carriageway you may improve grip by using chains or studded tyres, which is essential for the safety of the driver and passengers. According to the General Traffic Regulations, in adverse conditions such as ice or snow it is appropriate to fit these devices to vehicles to avoid skidding and keep proper control of the vehicle on the road. This is supported by the sections dealing with the compulsory use of chains in specific situations and the need to drive safely.
