Show answer

Correct answer

  • CRebajar la velocidad con suavidadReduce speed gently
Explanation

If a front-axle tyre bursts while we are driving, we must reduce speed gradually so that the steering is not affected and we do not lose control of the vehicle. We must never brake sharply, and even less accelerate, as this could put our safety at risk.
