Correct answer
- BPor el derecho pudiendo utilizar el resto si las condiciones de la vía lo aconsejan.The right-hand lane, and it may use the others if road conditions make it advisable.
Buses, even if they are more than 7 metres long, are not subject to the specific rule to keep to the right-hand lane that applies to lorries, special vehicles and combinations of vehicles. So a bus normally drives in the right-hand lane, but may also use the next lane or other lanes when road or traffic conditions make it advisable, always driving safely and without obstructing other vehicles.
