Correct answer

  • ACuando empieza a llover.When it starts to rain.
Explanation

Dust, pollen, fine sand and oil from other vehicles build up on the carriageway. When it starts to rain, they form a very slippery layer of mud. For all these reasons, rain is more dangerous when the first drops fall than when it has been raining for a while.
