Correct answer
- Bmoderar la velocidad del vehículo y si fuera preciso detenerse.reduce your speed and, if necessary, stop.
Explanation
When there are children near the carriageway intending to cross, you must drive at a moderate speed and stop if necessary (Article 46 of the General Traffic Regulations), because they may suddenly run out. Flashing the main beam does not help, and the law does not require you to halve your speed.
