Correct answer
- BFavorece que aparezca el efecto aquaplaning.Makes aquaplaning more likely.
Rain reduces the grip of the tyres on the road. Not having the pressure recommended by the manufacturer can lead to even more loss of grip and so make aquaplaning more likely. Whether aquaplaning happens will depend on how much water the tyres can clear, measured in litres per second, and on the speed we are driving at. The higher the speed, the less time the tyres have to clear the water from the road, which increases the likelihood of aquaplaning.
