Correct answer
- BQue no pueda controlar su vehículo en una situación de emergencia.They may be unable to control their vehicle in an emergency.
Explanation
At an inappropriate speed the vehicle covers more metres during the reaction time and needs a longer distance to brake. In an emergency, the driver has no margin to stop or avoid the obstacle and may lose control (Article 45 of the General Traffic Regulations).
