Correct answer

  • Alas rectas.on straight stretches.
Explanation

Most accidents happen on straight stretches because of speed and lack of attention, as accident reports show. According to the General Traffic Regulations, drivers must keep a suitable speed and pay constant attention to road conditions, especially on straight stretches where higher speeds are allowed. A distraction or loss of control there can have serious consequences.
