BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, a car towing a light trailer forms a combination under seven metres long on a carriageway with three lanes in its direction. Which lane-use rule applies?

Correct answer

Normally the right lane; other lanes when advisable under the circumstances and without obstruction.

Normally use the right lane; other lanes may be used when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable, without obstructing vehicles following. The restriction to the right and immediately adjacent lane for specified combinations applies to those over seven metres, not this under-seven-metre combination. Towing a light trailer does not itself impose that restriction.
