Correct answer

  • BPor el derecho y el inmediato para adelantar.The right-hand lane, and the next one to overtake.
Explanation

With three or more lanes in their direction, lorries, vans and special vehicles with a MAM of more than 3,500 kg, and combinations of vehicles more than 7 metres long, must use the lane on their right; they may use the next lane as an exception, but never the others. In both cases, they may leave the right-hand lane only when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, provided they do not hold up another, faster vehicle behind them.
