Correct answer
- CConducir a velocidad constante, evitando aceleraciones o frenazos bruscos.Driving at a constant speed, avoiding sudden acceleration or harsh braking.
The General Traffic Regulations (RGC) state that drivers must drive safely and appropriately, keeping within the speed limits and avoiding excessive sudden acceleration and braking. These manoeuvres increase fuel consumption and reduce the vehicle's efficiency. So driving at a constant speed on the motorway improves fuel economy.
