In a lorry over 3,500 kg MAM on a two-way road, outside an emergency or permitted manoeuvre, which part should you generally use?

Correct answer

On the right-hand part of the carriageway.

Use the right-hand part of the carriageway, leaving the opposing half clear and maintaining enough lateral separation to pass safely. Do not normally travel on the shoulder. This does not mean remaining in one particular lane on every road: lane-selection rules and permitted manoeuvres depend on the road and conditions.
