Show answer
Correct answer
- CPor el carril derecho, como norma general.The right lane, as a general rule.
Explanation
Outside built-up areas, on carriageways with several lanes in the same direction, you normally drive in the lane furthest to the right (Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). The others are used when traffic or road conditions make it advisable; if the right lane is free, you must use it.
