Correct answer
- BPor el carril derecho y salir por la primera salida que encuentre.In the right-hand lane, and leave at the first exit you come to.
In the event of a breakdown on a motorway, a driver travelling at an abnormally low speed must use the right-hand lane and leave the road at the first available exit. The rules prohibit driving on the hard shoulder except in emergencies (such as a complete stop due to a breakdown). Driving in the right-hand lane reduces the risk of collisions, as it allows other vehicles to overtake without breaking the rules.
