Correct answer

  • ADisminuir la velocidad o apartarse al arcén si es practicable.Slow down or move onto the hard shoulder if it is usable.
Explanation

If drivers of heavy vehicles, large vehicles or vehicles that must keep to a specific speed limit cannot keep to the right, but can still be overtaken safely, they must show this by moving the arm back and forth or switching on the right indicator. They must also slow down or move onto the hard shoulder as soon as possible, if it is usable, to make overtaking easier and let the vehicles behind them pass, when oncoming traffic, a carriageway that is too narrow, or its layout or condition do not allow them to be overtaken easily and without danger.
