Correct answer

  • BPor el carril derecho y abandonaré la vía por la primera salida que encuentre.In the right-hand lane, and I will leave the road at the first exit I come to.
Explanation

Drivers who, because of an emergency, have to drive on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía) at an abnormally low speed, that is, below 60 km/h, must leave it at the first exit. In addition, if they seriously disrupt traffic, they must use the right-hand hard shoulder, if it is wide enough and passable. If they do not disrupt traffic, they must use the right-hand lane.
