Question 3813

On a freeway, can you drive in the acceleration lane at a higher speed than the vehicles traveling in the regular lane?

  1. No, except for motorcycles.
  2. Yes, and it is not considered passing.
  3. No, you would be passing on the right.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, and it is not considered passing.

Yes. Traveling faster in the acceleration lane than vehicles in the regular lane does not count as passing, and neither does the reverse. That means it is not passing on the right, and this applies to any vehicle, not just motorcycles.
