Correct answer

  • ANo.No.
Explanation

The HOV lane (VAO, high-occupancy vehicles) is for vehicles with several passengers and other categories set by the local rules. In Spain, mopeds may not use this lane, even if they carry two people. This is because mopeds do not meet the safety and speed requirements typical of HOV lanes, which are usually reserved for cars, buses and motorcycles.
