Correct answer
- ANo, en ningún caso.No, never.
The correct answer is "No, never" because on a carriageway with three lanes separated by broken lines for both directions of traffic, the left-hand lane must never be used. Driving in the left-hand lane against the traffic can be extremely dangerous, as we could meet vehicles coming the other way in the same lane. So you must keep to the right-hand lane and use the centre lane only to overtake or to turn left.
