Correct answer
- ASe debe reducir la velocidad y corregir las pequeñas desviaciones de la trayectoria.You should reduce speed and correct small deviations from your path.
Explanation
In a strong side wind, the driver must reduce speed and correct any deviation in direction. The wind can affect the vehicle's stability, making it harder to keep control and increasing the risk of accidents. The rules state that drivers must adapt their driving to the weather and road conditions to keep all road users safe.
