  • CSí, si el camión lleva encendida la señal de emergencia.Yes, if the lorry has its hazard warning lights on.
Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

While the lorry is moving, even at an abnormally low speed, the overtaking rules apply. If it were stationary, then we could pass it, even if we had to use the part of the carriageway for the opposite direction.
