Correct answer
Yes, when circumstances warrant it and it does not hinder another vehicle.
Yes. A combination over seven metres normally uses the right lane and may use the adjacent lane when traffic or road conditions warrant it, without hindering another vehicle. Here that is the middle lane, not the third lane furthest left. An extraordinary traffic incident is not required, and the rule is not limited exclusively to overtaking. Before changing lanes, observe, signal and respect traffic already in the lane.
