Correct answer

  • BSí, cuando no haya otra posibilidad.Yes, when there is no other option.
Explanation

Vehicles that have had an accident or breakdown but can continue must do so immediately, making sure they drive safely. If they need assistance, they must leave the traffic lanes as soon as possible and head for the first available exit, using the right-hand hard shoulder. If this is not possible, they must stop on the right-hand hard shoulder of the road or wherever they cause the least obstruction to traffic.
