Correct answer
- ANo respetar la distancia de seguridad y circular a velocidad inadecuada.Not keeping a safe distance and driving at an unsuitable speed.
On roads outside built-up areas, van drivers involved in accidents with casualties most often fail to keep a safe distance and drive at an unsuitable speed. Not keeping enough distance from the vehicle in front is dangerous because it leaves no room to react to sudden braking or emergencies, which increases the risk of collisions. Driving at a speed that does not suit the road or traffic conditions also makes the vehicle harder to control and reduces reaction time, which can lead to accidents. That is why it is crucial to keep a safe distance and adapt your speed to traffic and road conditions.
