Correct answer

  • ADebe circular por el carril situado más a la derecha.You must drive in the right-hand lane.
Explanation

Under Article 30 of the General Traffic Regulations, on two-way carriageways with three lanes separated by broken lines, you drive in the right-hand lane. The centre lane is used for overtaking and also for turning left, which is why it is wrong to say it is only for overtaking.
