Correct answer

  • BMayor que en condiciones normales.Greater than in normal conditions.
Explanation

In general we must always keep a safe distance of at least 2 seconds from the vehicle in front in urban areas and 3 seconds on open roads. This safe distance lets us react in good time and make the most appropriate decisions in unexpected situations. However, in certain circumstances, such as driving in poor grip conditions, we must increase this safe distance by at least one more second.
