Correct answer

  • AEl turismo con remolque.The car with a trailer.
Explanation

The order of priority between the different types of vehicles when one of them has to reverse on a narrow stretch without signs is: 1. Special vehicles and special transport that exceed the masses or dimensions set in vehicle regulations. 2. Combinations of vehicles, except those in point 4. 3. Animal-drawn vehicles. 4. Cars towing trailers with a MAM of up to 750 kg, and motorhomes. 5. Vehicles for the public transport of passengers. 6. Lorries, tractor units and vans. 7. Cars and car-derived vehicles. 8. Special vehicles that do not exceed the masses or dimensions set in vehicle regulations, quadricycles and light quadricycles. 9. Three-wheeled vehicles, motorcycles with sidecars and three-wheeled mopeds. 10. Motorcycles, two-wheeled mopeds and bicycles. So in this case the car with a trailer has right of way over the lorry.
