Correct answer

  • BSí, porque con la niebla se debe moderar la velocidad.Yes, because in fog you must reduce your speed.
Explanation

In thick fog you must reduce your speed so that you can stop within the distance you can see (Articles 45 and 46.1.k of the General Traffic Regulations). The ban on driving on a dual carriageway (autovía) at less than 60 km/h applies to those who do so without a justified reason (Article 49.1), and thick fog is such a reason.
