BDifficulty 2/5

On a motorway with two lanes in its direction, a car has just overtaken another car and a lorry and is about to overtake again. May it remain in the overtaking lane?

Correct answer

Yes, if this causes no undue inconvenience to faster vehicles behind.

Yes, after checking this causes no undue inconvenience to faster vehicles behind, under Article 83.1. The rule requires at least two lanes in its own direction, not necessarily two in each direction. It does not authorise staying left merely for convenience: normally use the right-hand lane and return safely when overtaking is complete. Observe speed limits and signal lateral movements.
