Correct answer
- CLa suficiente para que el vehículo que circula detrás pueda adelantarme con seguridad.Enough for the vehicle behind me to overtake me safely.
Under Article 54.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), a driver following another vehicle without intending to overtake it must leave a gap that allows the vehicle behind to overtake safely. This does not apply in built-up areas, where overtaking is prohibited, or where there is more than one lane in your direction.
