Question 6950
On a road outside a built-up area that has three lanes in the same direction of travel, in what case may the third lane be used?

- Whenever the circumstances allow it.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: To head toward an exit located in that direction.
Outside built-up areas, you normally drive in the right lane, and the others are used when traffic or road conditions call for it, without impeding anyone behind you. Needing to take an exit on the left, like the one indicated by the sign in the picture, is one of those reasons, so you may move to the third lane. An empty road and traffic that allows you to change lanes are not enough, because you need a reason.
