BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, you drive a car in the middle lane of a carriageway with three lanes in your direction. The right lane is usable and unrestricted; you are not overtaking and no other circumstance calls for another lane. Even without obstructing anyone, are you acting correctly?

Correct answer

No, you must drive in the right-hand lane.

No. Under these conditions, use the right lane. Having no vehicles behind does not itself justify the middle lane. Article 31 permits other lanes when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable without obstructing following vehicles; the prompt excludes such circumstances. The situation is described without relying on a missing image.
