Correct answer
- CCon suavidad y con una velocidad sostenida.Smoothly and at a steady speed.
To drive up a snowy slope, it is essential to do so smoothly and at a steady speed. This technique lets the wheels keep the traction needed to stop the vehicle skidding or stopping. The General Traffic Regulations also state that special precautions must be taken when driving in adverse conditions such as snow or ice. The correct option, which stresses a smooth and controlled approach, reduces the risk of skidding and makes the manoeuvre safer.
