BDifficulty 3/5

You drive a passenger car without a trailer outside a built-up area on a carriageway with three lanes for your direction and no special restrictions. When may you use lanes to your left?

Correct answer

When conditions make it advisable, without obstructing a following vehicle.

When traffic or road conditions make it advisable, without obstructing a following vehicle, under article 31. Normally use the rightmost lane. This is not limited solely to overtaking and does not require every other lane to be occupied. Certain lorries, vans, special vehicles and combinations face additional restrictions; this scenario concerns a passenger car without a trailer. Follow signs, limits and any applicable special rules.
