Correct answer

  • BSi la avería permite continuar la marcha, debe seguir hasta salir del túnel o hasta una zona habilitada para emergencias.If the breakdown allows you to keep going, you must continue until you leave the tunnel or reach an area set aside for emergencies.
Explanation

Article 97.3.f of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) states that, if the breakdown allows you to keep moving, you must continue to the tunnel exit and, if that is not possible, to an area reserved for emergencies. Stopping at any point creates a dangerous obstacle for others.
