Correct answer

  • ASí, ya que los neumáticos pueden perder su adherencia.Yes, as the tyres may lose grip.
Explanation

Water forms a film that reduces tyre grip, especially with the first drops, which mix with the dust and grease on the road surface. Rain requires a greater safe distance and a lower speed.
