BDifficulty 2/5

A motorcycle travels outside a built-up area on a carriageway with three ordinary lanes in its direction. With no sign prohibiting it, may it use the leftmost lane?

Correct answer

Yes, when traffic or road conditions advise it.

Yes, when traffic or road conditions warrant it and without obstructing a following vehicle, under Article 31.1. Normally use the right-hand lane, not the shoulder. Article 31.2’s restriction to the two rightmost lanes applies to lorries or vans exceeding 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass, special vehicles not required to use the shoulder and combinations over seven metres long; it does not apply to this motorcycle.
