Correct answer

  • CAl aumentar la velocidad de circulación de los vehículos.When vehicles' speed increases.
Explanation

The higher the speed, the more metres you travel during the reaction time and the longer the braking, so the safe distance must increase when speed goes up. It must also be increased in rain, fog or on a slippery surface.
