CDifficulty 3/5

A lorry above 3,500 kg MAM travels outside a built-up area on a carriageway with three ordinary lanes in its direction. If conditions warrant overtaking and it does not obstruct a following vehicle, may it use the centre lane subject to the other rules?

Correct answer

Yes, the centre lane under the stated conditions.

Yes. Normally use the right lane; the immediately adjacent lane, here the centre lane, may be used when road or traffic conditions warrant it without obstructing a following vehicle. It may not freely use all three lanes: the far-left lane is outside this permission. Obey signs, limits and safe-overtaking conditions. The current rule is in Article 31.2.
