CDifficulty 1/5

You drive a lorry with a MAM of 16,000 kg on a built-up-area road that is neither a motorway nor a dual carriageway. There are three lanes in your direction, delimited by longitudinal markings. May you use the left-hand lane?

Correct answer

Yes, if it suits my destination and I do not obstruct other vehicles.

Yes, if it best suits your destination and you do not obstruct other vehicles. Article 33 applies to built-up-area carriageways with at least two marked lanes in the same direction, except motorways and dual carriageways. Do not leave the lane except to prepare to change direction, overtake, stop or park. The lorry’s weight does not impose here the rightmost-two-lanes rule applicable to heavy vehicles on certain roads outside built-up areas.
