Correct answer

  • AMantener la distancia de seguridad hasta que sea posible adelantarle correctamente.Keep a safe distance until it is possible to overtake it correctly.
Explanation

With a continuous line you may not overtake by crossing it, so you must keep a safe distance behind the slow car until you reach a stretch where you can overtake correctly. Driving right up behind it, sounding the horn or crossing the continuous line is dangerous and prohibited.
