Correct answer
- CNo, porque, en este caso, no se considera adelantamiento.No, because in this case it is not considered overtaking.
Explanation
It is not considered overtaking when, on congested roads, the vehicles in one lane move faster than those in the next lane, provided that the vehicles take up the whole width of the carriageway and can only travel at a speed that depends on the speed of the vehicle in front of them in their lane.
