Correct answer
- Bno pisar el frenonot press the brake
When there is ice on the carriageway, using the brake can make the wheels lock, especially in vehicles without ABS, which leads to loss of control. For this reason, it is better to avoid pressing the brake so that the vehicle stays stable. This advice comes from the principle of avoiding loss of tyre grip, which is implicit in the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) rules on driving in bad conditions.
