Correct answer
- ANo.No.
According to Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), outside built-up areas, on carriageways with more than one lane in each direction, you normally drive in the right lane and the others are only used when traffic or road conditions make it advisable. If you are not going to overtake and the right lane is free, you must use it.
