Correct answer

  • ACuando tienen que responder muy rápido.When they have to respond very quickly.
Explanation

With age, reaction time gets longer and it becomes harder to process a lot of information at once. So older people are at greater risk in situations that need a very quick response, such as a complex junction or something unexpected. They make up for this by driving more calmly and avoiding these situations.
