Correct answer
No, because the length of the vehicle combination exceeds 7 metres
No. The combination exceeds 7 metres in length, so Article 31.2 restricts it to the right-hand lane and the lane immediately beside it when conditions warrant and without obstructing following vehicles. It cannot use the third of these lanes. The rule also covers lorries or vans over 3,500 kg maximum authorised mass and special vehicles not required to use the shoulder; it does not prohibit every lane other than the right-hand lane.
