Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

On the carriageways of motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías) with two or more lanes in the same direction, drivers should normally use the right-hand lane. They may use the other lanes when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, but always without holding up the vehicles behind them. In the picture, we can clearly see that there are no special circumstances for driving on the left, so the vehicle should be in the right-hand lane.
