Show answer

Correct answer

  • AEl vehículo que tenga que retroceder más.The vehicle that would have to reverse further.
Explanation

Under Article 62 of the General Traffic Regulations, when both vehicles are of the same type, priority goes to the one that would have to reverse the greater distance. Only if that distance is the same does priority go to the vehicle with the greater width, length or maximum authorised mass (MAM).
