Correct answer

  • ANo, porque debo circular dentro de mi carril.No, because I must drive within my lane.
Explanation

According to the catalogue of road markings in Annex I of the RGC, you must not drive on a broken longitudinal line except when the width of the lanes makes it necessary and safety allows. On a carriageway more than 6 m wide the lanes are wide enough, so you must stay within your own.
