Correct answer

  • ASí, puesto que facilitará la adherencia.Yes, because it will improve grip.

On snow it is best to drive in the tracks left by other vehicles, because there the road surface offers more grip than untrodden snow. You should also drive slowly, in high gears, increase your safe distance and avoid sudden manoeuvres.
