Question 6933

If you are not obstructing the progress of another vehicle following you, are you acting correctly?

  1. No, you must drive in the right lane.
  2. Yes.
  3. Yes, because it leaves the left lane free for passing.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, you must drive in the right lane.

No. Outside built-up areas, you normally drive in the right lane and use the others when traffic or road conditions call for it. Not impeding anyone following you is not enough of a reason to use the left lane. In the picture, the blue car is in the left lane with the right lane clear, so it must return to it.
