Correct answer
- BCuando el vehículo al que se va a adelantar vaya a girar a la izquierda y haya espacio suficiente.When the vehicle to be overtaken is going to turn left and there is enough room.
As a general rule you overtake on the left. As an exception, you overtake on the right a vehicle that clearly shows it is going to turn left or stop on that side, if there is enough room, and trams running in the middle of the road (Article 82.2 of the General Traffic Regulations). Having several lanes in the same direction only allows it in built-up areas.
