Correct answer

  • ANo, porque debo circular dentro de mi carril.No, because I must drive within my lane.
Explanation

According to the road-marking catalogue, no driver may drive on a broken lane-separation line except when, because of the width of the lanes, it is necessary and safety allows it. On a carriageway more than 6 m wide with two lanes this is not the case, so you must stay within the lane.
