Correct answer

  • BSí, porque debo circular por la derecha siempre que sea posible.Yes, because I must drive on the right whenever possible.
Explanation

The sign indicates that the lanes marked with 70 may only be used by vehicles travelling at that speed or faster; the right-hand lane has no such restriction. Under Article 31.1 of the RGC, outside built-up areas you normally drive in the right-hand lane, so you may use it at more than 70 km/h.
