BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, a car-and-trailer combination is exactly 7 metres long on a carriageway with three lanes in its direction and no special signs. May it use the leftmost lane when circumstances justify it and it does not obstruct following traffic?

Correct answer

Yes, under those conditions; exceeding seven metres is a different case.

Yes. Article 31.2 limits combinations over seven metres to the two rightmost lanes; exactly seven metres is not over that threshold. Normally use the right lane and use others under Article 31.1; length alone does not justify unnecessarily remaining left. Use is not restricted solely to overtaking in this scenario.
