BDifficulty 3/5

You drive a car on a two-way carriageway with three lanes in total separated by broken lines. If overtaking is permitted and safe, which lane do you use for the manoeuvre?

Correct answer

The centre lane

The central lane, under Article 30(1)(b). Normally use the rightmost lane; the central lane is used only when necessary to overtake or turn left. The lane furthest to your left must not be used. There are three lanes in total, not three per direction, and a central lane does not remove the other overtaking requirements.
