Correct answer

  • CLa que nos permita detener el vehículo en caso de frenado brusco del vehículo que nos precede sin colisionar con él.One that lets us stop, if the vehicle in front brakes suddenly, without hitting it.
Explanation

In all cases we must leave a clear space that lets us stop without hitting the vehicle in front if it brakes suddenly. But in this case we do not need to keep a distance that lets others overtake us, because we are on a road with more than one lane in each direction.
