Correct answer

  • ASí, porque no supera los 7 metros.Yes, because it is not more than 7 metres long.
Explanation

On carriageways with three or more lanes in each direction, only vehicle combinations more than seven metres long must normally use the right-hand lane, and they may use the next lane. A car with a trailer 7 metres long does not exceed that limit and may use the left-hand lane like any other car (Article 31.2 of the General Traffic Regulations, as worded by RD 518/2026).
