Question 5280
On a freeway (autopista) or a high-capacity divided highway (autovía), passing must always be done...
- on the right or on the shoulder.
- on the right or on the left.
- on the left.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: on the left.
On freeways (autopista) and high-capacity divided highways (autovía), you must always pass on the left. You must not use the shoulder to pass, and passing a slow vehicle in the left lane on its right is not allowed either. In heavy traffic, when each lane moves at the pace of the vehicle ahead, or when you are in an acceleration lane, moving faster on the right does not count as passing.
