Correct answer

  • Bla conducción debe ser suave, sin movimientos bruscos de la dirección ni cambios repentinos.driving must be smooth, without sudden steering movements or sudden changes.
Explanation

With snow, grip is very low, so driving must be smooth: no sudden turns of the steering wheel, no sharp acceleration or hard braking, using high gears and greatly increasing the safe distance. Chains are fitted to the driving wheels, not always to the front ones.
