BDifficulty 1/5

You drive a car on a motorway within a built-up area with two lanes in your direction and no special lane signs. Which lane should you normally use?

Correct answer

The right-hand lane, although you may use the others when traffic conditions make it advisable.

The right-hand lane. Use other lanes in your direction when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, without obstructing a following vehicle. The urban rule allowing the lane best suited to the destination excludes motorways and dual carriageways. The least busy lane is not a free-choice rule, nor is the left lane exclusively for overtaking in every circumstance.
