Correct answer

  • CHacia el exterior de la curva.Towards the outside of the bend.
Explanation

When a vehicle takes a bend, centrifugal force acts on it and tends to push it towards the outside of the bend, that is, away from the centre of the turn. That is why it is important to moderate your speed and keep your line so that you do not leave the carriageway.
