Correct answer

  • CAl circular por una vía estrecha con el pavimento en mal estado.When driving on a narrow road with the surface in poor condition.
Explanation

If the road is wide and the surface is in good condition, we will feel that we are going slower than we really are. On a narrow road in poor condition, we will feel the opposite, that is, that we are going faster than we really are, either because of the tyre noise caused by the poor surface or because the edges of the narrow road are so close.
