Correct answer

  • CDetener el vehículo antes de entrar en la intersección.Stop the vehicle before entering the junction.
Explanation

If you foresee that you may be left stopped inside a junction, you must not enter it, even if you have right of way. If you are stopped inside the junction, it could become blocked, preventing other vehicles from passing. In that case, we must leave the junction without waiting until we can move in the direction we wanted to take, and without obstructing other road users.
