C1Difficulty 3/5

If you are driving a lorry with an MAM exceeding 3,500 kg, as a general rule, may you drive in an additional lane?

Correct answer

Yes.

Temporary additional lanes are enabled by the authorities to improve traffic flow on carriageways with two-way traffic, two lanes and hard shoulders of sufficient width. All types of vehicle may use this type of lane unless there is an express prohibition. This is why lorries with an MAM of more than 3,500 kg are permitted to drive in additional lanes.
