Correct answer

  • CNormalmente por el derecho, aunque podemos usar el inmediato cuando las circunstancias del tráfico lo aconsejen.Normally the right-hand lane, although we may use the next lane when traffic conditions make it advisable.
Explanation

When driving outside a built-up area on a carriageway with 3 or more lanes in the same direction, with a combination of vehicles more than 7 metres long, we normally drive in the lane furthest to our right. We may use the next lane when traffic or road conditions make it advisable.
