Correct answer

  • BNo, nos colocaremos en el carril de la izquierda.No, we must move into the left-hand lane.
Explanation

If we are on a one-way road with three lanes, to turn left we must move into the left-hand lane, unless the turn has been designed or signed to be made in a different way. On two-way roads with 3 lanes, the centre lane is used to turn left.
