Correct answer

  • Cconducir con moderación sin realizar frenazos en seco ni acelerones fuertes.drive moderately, without braking hard or accelerating sharply.
Explanation

For safe and economical driving, we should drive at a steady speed, moderately, and always avoid braking sharply, especially on bends, where we should keep a steady speed. We should also avoid sharp and unnecessary acceleration because, as well as endangering road safety, it increases our vehicle's fuel consumption.
