Show answer

Correct answer

  • CSí, en la medida de lo posible.Yes, as far as possible.
Explanation

The rules say that outside built-up areas, such as on a dual carriageway (autovía), drivers must, as far as possible, make it easier for buses leaving marked stops to join the traffic. In built-up areas, however, this obligation is greater, because other drivers must even slow down or stop if necessary to let the bus move off again.
