Correct answer
- ASí, si se frena bruscamente, los neumáticos pueden perder la adherencia sobre el pavimento.Yes, if you brake sharply, the tyres can lose grip on the road surface.
Explanation
On snow, grip is minimal: sharp braking locks the wheels and the vehicle skids, regardless of the wheel alignment or tyre pressure. Brake gently and use engine braking.
