Correct answer
- BSí, en tanto que la velocidad debe adecuarse a las circunstancias de la vía, como por ejemplo, la lluvia, nieve o hielo.Yes, because speed must be adapted to the road conditions, for example rain, snow or ice.
When we drive at a speed that is not adapted to the weather or to the conditions of the road, the traffic, the vehicle or the driver, we are driving at an inappropriate speed. Our speed may be within the limits for the road, but in a difficult situation we may find it very hard to control the vehicle. For example, there are usually more accidents on rainy days because many drivers drive at the same speed as on a sunny day: the speed is permitted, but it is inappropriate in the rain.
