Correct answer

  • Cuna pérdida de la adherencia cuando llueve.a loss of grip when it rains.
Explanation

Aquaplaning happens when a vehicle's tyres lose contact with the road because of a layer of water on the surface, which causes a significant loss of grip. This loss of grip can lead to loss of control of the vehicle, especially in rain. Under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), drivers must be aware of these risks and adapt their driving to the weather to keep the road safe. So the correct answer is that aquaplaning causes a loss of grip when it rains.
