BDifficulty 2/5

You travel on an interurban carriageway with two lanes in your direction. A sign requires travelling at least 80 km/h to use the left lane. Your car can reach that speed. If the right lane is clear and conditions allow its use, which lane should you generally use?

Correct answer

As a general rule, and provided circumstances allow it, in the right-hand lane.

Generally use the right lane when conditions allow. The indicated minimum speed is a condition for using the left lane; being able to exceed 80 km/h does not require using it. The right lane is not reserved only for slower vehicles. If using the left lane, comply with its minimum, applicable maximum limits and conditions.
