Correct answer
- APor el carril derecho y, si dificulta mucho la circulación, debe circular por el arcén.In the right-hand lane and, if it greatly obstructs traffic, it must drive on the hard shoulder.
Vehicles of up to 3,500 kg that, because of an emergency such as a breakdown, are travelling at an abnormally low speed and seriously disrupting traffic must use the right-hand hard shoulder if it is passable and wide enough (Article 36.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC). If they are not disrupting traffic, they stay in the right-hand lane.
