Show answer

Correct answer

  • BIr hacia el borde derecho de la calzada para facilitar el adelantamiento.Move towards the right-hand edge of the carriageway to make overtaking easier.
Explanation

Article 86 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) requires the driver about to be overtaken to keep close to the right-hand edge of the carriageway and prohibits them from speeding up. The rules only provide for the right indicator for slow or heavy vehicles that cannot move over completely, not as a general way of allowing overtaking.
