Correct answer

  • BModerar la velocidad y, si fuera preciso, detener el vehículo.Slow down and, if necessary, stop.
Explanation

When approaching an immobilised vehicle on the carriageway outside an urban area, it is important to take proper precautions to keep the road safe. Stopping or slowing down gives the driver more time to assess the situation and react safely. Also, stopping if necessary can be crucial to avoid hitting the immobilised vehicle or other vehicles that may be manoeuvring around it.
