BDifficulty 2/5

You drive a car on a motorway with three lanes in your direction, all open and with no special reservation. In normal conditions, which lane should you generally use?

Correct answer

The rightmost lane.

Outside built-up areas, on a carriageway with more than one lane in the same direction, normally use the rightmost lane. Other lanes may be used when traffic or road conditions justify it, without obstructing a following vehicle. This does not permit always choosing the middle lane or whichever has least traffic, or remaining unnecessarily on the left.
