Show answer

Correct answer

  • ACuando aumenta la velocidad de los vehículos.When the vehicles' speed increases.
Explanation

Vehicles must always keep a safe distance that allows them to stop without hitting the vehicle in front if it brakes suddenly. Speed and the grip and braking conditions must be taken into account in particular. So if we are driving at a high speed, we must leave a larger safe distance.
