Correct answer

  • ACircular a una velocidad moderada y, si es necesario, detener el vehículo.Ride at a moderate speed and, if necessary, stop the vehicle.
Explanation

In heavy rain, visibility and grip are reduced and the braking distance increases. You must ride at a moderate speed and stop in a safe place if you cannot carry on safely. Riding close behind the vehicle in front or using the main beam in a built-up area only increases the risk.
