Correct answer

  • BNo, tendría que ir por el carril de la derecha.No, it should be in the right-hand lane.
Explanation

If some circumstance made it advisable to drive in the left-hand lane, it could do so at 70 km/h, but as a general rule you should normally drive in the right-hand lane. Using the left-hand lane is justified if you want to go faster than 80 km/h, because that is the maximum speed set for the right-hand lane.
