Correct answer

  • CCuando no ponga en peligro a otros usuarios.When it does not endanger other road users.
Explanation

Under Article 78.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a driver who wants to make a U-turn must choose a suitable place, signal in good time and make sure they will not endanger or obstruct other road users; otherwise they must wait for a suitable moment. It is neither always allowed nor always prohibited.
