Show answer

Correct answer

  • CEl de la motocicleta con sidecar.The rider of the motorcycle with a sidecar.
Explanation

According to Article 62 of the General Traffic Regulations, when there are no signs, priority in a narrow passage follows an order by type of vehicle. Special vehicles that do not exceed the regulation masses or dimensions, such as an agricultural tractor, come before motorcycles with a sidecar, so the motorcycle reverses.
