Show answer
Correct answer
- BCircular por una calzada mojada o deslizante.Driving on a wet or slippery carriageway.
Explanation
Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels from when the brake is pressed until it stops, and it increases on a wet or slippery surface because there is less grip. A longer reaction time increases the reaction distance, not the braking distance, and engine braking helps you slow down.
