Correct answer

  • ASí, siempre.Yes, always.
Explanation

Article 46.1.g of the General Traffic Regulations requires you to slow down when driving on a slippery surface or when water could be splashed onto other road users. On a wet road, grip is reduced and braking distance increases, whether or not there is traffic.
