Correct answer
In the right-hand lane.
On carriageways with two-way traffic and two lanes that are not marked out by road markings, drivers must drive in the right-hand lane. This rule is fundamental to maintaining an orderly and safe traffic flow, avoiding conflicts and potential risks when passing vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. Driving in the right-hand lane on this type of road allows both directions of traffic to have enough space to travel safely. It also makes manoeuvres such as overtaking easier, which should be carried out on the left-hand side when it is safe to do so.
