Correct answer

  • CSí, por ejemplo, existe tendencia a pensar que se conduce despacio aunque realmente se haga deprisa.Yes. For example, you tend to think you are driving slowly even when you are actually driving fast.
Explanation

Driving on a motorway or dual carriageway can be monotonous and reduce your attention. After driving at high speed for a long time, you can lose the real sense of that speed. So we must check the speedometer carefully to adapt our speed to the new circumstances.
