Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

HOV lanes (VAO) are restricted by Spanish rules to certain types of vehicle. Specifically, cars towing a trailer are not allowed in these lanes, according to Article 35 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC). So the correct answer is «No», since neither light trailers nor cars towing trailers are allowed to use these lanes, whatever the number of occupants.
