Correct answer

  • BContinuar hasta la salida del túnel, siempre que sea posible.Carry on to the tunnel exit, whenever possible.
Explanation

If a vehicle breaks down inside a tunnel but can still move, it must carry on to the tunnel exit whenever possible. Stopping inside the tunnel, unless it is completely unavoidable, increases the risk of collisions because of the limited space and visibility. You must also keep taking care, keep the safe distance and switch on dipped headlights to be more visible.
