Correct answer

  • ANo, porque está prohibido.No, because it is forbidden.
Explanation

Article 38.1 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits animal-drawn vehicles, bicycles, mopeds and vehicles for people with reduced mobility on motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías). The ban does not depend on the moped's speed, and it does not allow the use of the hard shoulder.
