Show answer
Correct answer
- BCon suavidad, sin movimientos bruscos, aumentando la distancia de seguridad y reduciendo la velocidad.Smoothly, without sudden movements, increasing the safe distance and reducing speed.
Explanation
When the carriageway is wet and slippery from fog, tyres grip less and braking distance increases. You must reduce speed, increase your safe distance and drive smoothly, avoiding sudden braking, acceleration or steering that could cause a skid.
