Correct answer
- BCuando sople de costado y a ráfagasWhen it blows from the side and in gusts.
Side winds are especially dangerous for two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles, as they are much more vulnerable. When the wind blows from the side and in gusts, riding becomes dangerous because the force of the wind can push the motorcycle off its path. So this situation is the most dangerous for riding a motorcycle.
