  2. Never.
  3. Only to pass.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: When the other lanes are occupied and you do not obstruct vehicles traveling behind you.

When driving a passenger car outside built-up areas with three lanes in your direction, you normally use the right lane. You may move into the left lane when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, such as when the other lanes are occupied, provided you do not obstruct anyone behind you.
