Question 5110

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when the vehicle carries the required number of people.
Being a novice driver does not prevent you from using the HOV lane, even during your first year. What matters is the vehicle and its occupancy. With a passenger car without a trailer, you may enter if the car carries the number of people required for that section; in the image, the panel requires two or more. The HOV lane does not have an 80 km/h limit that excludes novice drivers; the speed is set by the road and its signs.
