CDifficulty 3/5

You are driving a lorry with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kg on a road outside a built-up area that has three lanes in each direction. Which lanes are you allowed to use?

Correct answer

Normally the lane furthest to the right; I may use the adjacent lane when traffic or road conditions advise it, provided that I do not impede the progress of another vehicle following me.

When the carriageway outside a built-up area on which we are travelling in our lorry with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kilograms has 3 or more lanes in the same direction, drivers of lorries and vans with a maximum authorised mass of more than 3,500 kilograms will normally use the lane furthest to the right and may use the adjacent lane when traffic or road conditions advise it, provided that they do not impede the progress of another vehicle following them.
