CDifficulty 3/5

If you are driving a lorry of more than 3,500 kg MAM on a road outside a built-up area that has three lanes in the same direction, which lanes are you permitted to use?

Correct answer

The right-hand lane, but I may also use the adjacent lane when traffic or road conditions advise it.

When the carriageway outside a built-up area on which we are driving our lorry of more than 3,500 kilograms MAM has 3 or more lanes in the same direction, drivers of lorries and vans with a MAM of more than 3,500 kilograms will normally drive in the right-hand lane, and may use the next lane when traffic or road conditions advise it, provided they do not hinder the progress of another vehicle following them.
