Correct answer
- CLa que permita al vehículo que circule detrás, adelantarme con seguridad.One that allows the vehicle behind me to overtake me safely.
Every driver following another vehicle must leave a clear space between them that allows them to stop without hitting it if it brakes suddenly, taking particular account of speed, grip and braking conditions. In addition, a driver following another vehicle without signalling an intention to overtake must leave a gap large enough for the vehicle following them to overtake safely. Cyclists riding in a group are allowed not to keep this gap.
