Correct answer

  • CSolo si el recorrido en paralelo no supere los 200 metros o los 15 segundos.Only if travelling side by side does not exceed 200 metres or 15 seconds.
Explanation

Article 36 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) prohibits vehicles travelling on the hard shoulder, such as mopeds or tractors, from overtaking each other if travelling side by side lasts more than 15 seconds or covers more than 200 metres. This limit does not apply to bicycles.
