Show answer
Correct answer
- CUna vez finalizado el desplazamiento lateral.Once the sideways move has been completed.
Explanation
We use the indicator to show that we are moving sideways. Once that move is finished, we switch it off, so we pass the vehicle in front without the indicator on. Once we have passed the overtaken vehicle, we signal the sideways move to the right to show that we are returning to our lane.
