BDifficulty 2/5

On a motorway, is it permitted to drive in the acceleration lane at a higher speed than vehicles travelling in the ordinary lane?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes, while respecting speed limits and adapting speed for a safe merge. Under article 83.3, moving faster in an acceleration lane than in ordinary lanes, or vice versa, is not considered overtaking. This does not require a higher speed or give priority when merging: check safety and give way when necessary under article 72. Being in that lane does not allow exceeding the limit.
