Correct answer

  • ASi la avería permite la circulación del vehículo, debe continuar hasta salir del túnel o hasta llegar a una zona reservada para emergencias.If the vehicle can still be driven, carry on until you are out of the tunnel or reach an area reserved for emergencies.
Explanation

If the vehicle can still be driven, you must carry on until you are out of the tunnel or reach the nearest emergency area, so as not to become an obstacle inside the tunnel. Stopping anywhere without need increases the risk of being hit from behind.
