Correct answer

  • BSí, en cualquier caso.Yes, in all cases.
Explanation

Article 54.1 of the General Traffic Regulations requires you to leave a space that allows you to stop without a collision, taking into account speed and grip and braking conditions. In rain, fog or snow, grip and visibility get worse, so the distance must be increased.
