Correct answer
- ASí, siempre que el adelantamiento no supere los 200 metros ni los 15 segundos.Yes, as long as the overtaking does not take more than 200 metres or 15 seconds.
Explanation
Under Article 36.5 of the General Traffic Regulations, drivers of vehicles that must use the hard shoulder, such as mopeds and tractors, may not overtake each other if travelling side by side lasts more than 15 seconds or covers more than 200 metres. This does not apply to bicycles.
