Correct answer

  • BSí, y no debe iniciar la maniobra hasta estar seguro.Yes, and they must not start the manoeuvre until they are sure.
Explanation

A driver using an acceleration lane must make sure at the start of the lane that they can join without danger, taking into account the position, path and speed of other vehicles, and even stop if necessary (Article 72.4 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). They do not have right of way.
