Correct answer

  • BSí, a los badenes y a las zonas en las que se pueden producir charcos.Yes, to dips in the road and areas where puddles may form.
Explanation

When it rains, pay special attention to dips in the road and areas that may flood, as well as to puddles on the carriageway. Try to keep your tyres out of these patches of water by passing them between your wheels or to one side, if this is possible, the traffic allows it and you do not create danger. In any case, always moderate your speed.
