C1Difficulty 3/5

If you are driving a lorry of more than 3,500 kg MAM on a road outside a built-up area that has three lanes for the same direction, which lanes are you allowed to use?

Correct answer

The right-hand one, but I may also use the adjacent one when traffic or road circumstances advise it.

If we are driving our lorry of more than 3,500 kilograms MAM on a carriageway outside a built-up area that has 3 or more lanes for the same direction, drivers of lorries and vans with an MAM of more than 3,500 kilograms will normally drive in the lane furthest to the right, and may use the adjacent one when traffic or road circumstances advise it, provided they do not hinder the progress of a vehicle following them.
