Show answer

Correct answer

  • AEl que haya entrado primero en el estrechamiento.The one that entered the narrow stretch first.
Explanation

Under Article 60.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, at a narrow stretch without specific signs, right of way goes to the vehicle that entered first, whatever type it is. Only if there is doubt does the order in Article 62 apply, based on how difficult each vehicle is to manoeuvre.
