Correct answer
- ASí, adaptando su conducción a las condiciones de la vía y del entorno.Yes, by adapting their driving to the road and its surroundings.
Drivers cannot change the road layout, the road surface or the weather, but they can reduce their risk by adapting their driving: slowing down, increasing the safe distance and paying extra attention on bends, at junctions or in the rain. The vehicle's safety systems help, but they do not replace this adaptation.
