Correct answer
- BAumentar la distancia respecto a los vehículos que circulan delante.Increase the distance from the vehicles in front.
The correct answer is to increase the distance from the vehicles in front. This is important because keeping more distance reduces the chance that gravel thrown up by the wheels of the vehicle in front will hit our windscreen. According to the General Traffic Regulations, when driving on a slippery surface or in situations where material such as gravel may be thrown up, you must increase the safe distance. This not only helps protect the windscreen but also makes driving safer in general.
