Correct answer

  • ADebe aumentar la distancia de seguridad y reducir la velocidad.You must increase the safe distance and reduce your speed.
Explanation

In rain, visibility gets worse and water reduces grip, so the braking distance increases. You must reduce your speed and increase the safe distance. Driving on road markings is dangerous, because they become slippery when wet.
