Correct answer

  • ANormalmente no.Not normally.
Explanation

Heavy or large vehicles only need to slow down or move onto the hard shoulder, if it is usable, when oncoming traffic, the width, the profile or the condition of the carriageway do not allow them to be overtaken easily and safely (Article 86.3 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)).
