BDifficulty 2/5

If you are riding a motorcycle on this road, are you allowed to use the lane furthest to the left?

Correct answer

Yes, when traffic or road conditions advise it.

If we are riding a motorcycle on a road with three or more lanes in the same direction, like the one in the image, we are allowed to use the lane furthest to the left when traffic or road conditions make it advisable. On roads with three or more lanes, larger vehicles, such as lorries, vans, special vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3,500 kg and vehicle combinations more than seven metres long, must use the lane furthest to the right and may use the adjacent lane only exceptionally. For us, riding a motorcycle, the rule is to travel on the right, but we may use the other lanes, including those furthest to the left, provided that traffic or road conditions justify it and other vehicles' progress is not obstructed.
