So this is a question about how to say "slow down" in a colloquial setting. Say your friend is driving in a reckless fashion, and you say (in english) "slow down before you get us all killed" or something like that. What would the spanish equivalent be?
You´re not going to say "reduce la velocidad" or "aminora la marcha" or "ralentiza", are you? These all seem a bit bookish and formal.
I suppose one could just say "despacito, que nos vas a matar" or "afloja" or "aminora" with "la marcha" understood.
ideas?
