BDifficulty 2/5

On a motorway outside a built-up area with three lanes per direction and no special regulation, may a car use the middle lane to overtake safely?

Correct answer

Yes, observing overtaking conditions and without obstructing following vehicles.

Yes. Normally use the right-hand lane, but other lanes in your direction may be used when road or traffic conditions warrant, without obstructing following vehicles. After overtaking, return right when appropriate and safe. The middle lane is not a designated place for voluntary stops.
