Correct answer

  • Bdebe disminuir la velocidad.you must reduce speed.
Explanation

Whether aquaplaning happens depends on how much water the tyres can clear, measured in litres per second, and on your speed. The higher the speed, the less time the tyres have to clear the water from the carriageway, so aquaplaning becomes more likely. The best way to prevent aquaplaning is to moderate your speed.
