Correct answer

  • CQue haya nieve o hielo en la calzada.Snow or ice on the carriageway.
Explanation

The braking distance depends on speed, but also on the condition of the road, the tyres, the brakes and the load. With snow or ice, grip is much lower and the braking distance increases a lot. Disc brakes do not increase it.
