BDifficulty 2/5

Outside built-up areas on a carriageway with three lanes in the same direction, what length allows a passenger-car-and-trailer combination to use the third lane under the general rule, when traffic or road conditions warrant it and following vehicles are not impeded?

Correct answer

Seven metres or less.

A total length of seven metres or less. Article 31.2 restricts combinations longer than seven metres to the right lane and its immediate neighbour, under Article 31.1 conditions. Exactly seven metres is not included in that length restriction. A trailer does not make the car a special vehicle or grant permanent use of the left lane; obey other applicable restrictions.
