Correct answer
- BAumentar la distancia de seguridad con el vehículo de delante.Increase the safe distance from the vehicle in front.
If a vehicle is following too closely, the driver should increase the safe distance from the vehicle in front. This gives a bigger safety margin if they need to brake and helps avoid collisions if there is sudden braking. Keeping or reducing the safe distance would be dangerous, because it increases the risk of an accident both for the driver and for the vehicles behind.
