Correct answer
- APor el carril derecho y, si perturba gravemente la circulación, debe circular por el arcén.In the right-hand lane and, if it seriously disrupts traffic, on the hard shoulder.
Drivers of vehicles with a MAM of no more than 3,500 kilograms who, for emergency reasons, are travelling at an abnormally low speed and thereby seriously disrupting traffic must travel on the right-hand hard shoulder, if it is passable and wide enough, and if not, on the smallest possible part of the carriageway. When they do not seriously disrupt traffic, they must travel in the right-hand lane. They must warn other road users of this situation with the vehicle's hazard warning lights. When these drivers are on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía), they must leave the road at the first exit.
