Show answer

Correct answer

  • AReducir la velocidad, incluso llegando a detenerme.Reduce speed, even stopping if necessary.
Explanation

If there are pedestrians on the part of the road we are using, we must reduce speed, even to the point of stopping, although the pedestrians do not have priority. Pedestrians are fragile and vulnerable road users who would suffer serious injury if hit, so great care is needed to prevent this.
