Show answer

Correct answer

  • CEl carril derecho.The right-hand lane.
Explanation

Outside built-up areas, on carriageways with several lanes in the same direction, you normally drive in the right-hand lane. The other lanes are used when traffic conditions make it advisable, for example to overtake, without obstructing those behind (Article 31 of the General Traffic Regulations, RGC).
