Correct answer

  • CSí, reducirla para adaptarla al espacio visible.Yes, reduce it to suit the distance you can see.
Explanation

As a general rule, when driving on a road in fog you must slow down, matching your speed to the distance you can see and adjusting it to how thick the fog is. You should not overtake, as the poor visibility ahead will not allow it, and you should follow the road markings to help you keep to the correct path.
