Correct answer

  • CTarda más tiempo en reaccionar ante una situación de riesgo.They take longer to react to a risky situation.
Explanation

Distraction takes attention away from the road: the driver spots the hazard later and takes longer to react, which makes the stopping distance longer and greatly increases the risk.
