Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNecesariamente por alguno de los dos más próximos al borde derecho de la calzada.Necessarily in one of the two lanes nearest the right edge of the carriageway.
Explanation

This option is correct because it states that a car with a trailer more than seven metres long must use one of the two lanes nearest the right edge of the carriageway. Longer vehicles, such as those with trailers, must use the lanes that let them travel more safely and smoothly, without obstructing other traffic.
