Correct answer
- CNo, debo circular por el carril de la derecha.No, I must drive in the right-hand lane.
Outside built-up areas, on carriageways with more than one lane in the same direction, you normally drive in the right-hand lane (Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). The other lanes are only used when traffic or the road makes it advisable, for example to overtake; driving in the centre lane when the road is clear is not justified.
