Question 702
On this two-way roadway, may you use the left lane?
- No, under no circumstances.
- Not for driving, but for performing any maneuver.
- Only to pass on roads outside built-up areas.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, under no circumstances.
On a two-way roadway with three lanes separated by broken lines, using the far-left lane is prohibited. The center lane is reserved for passing or turning left. This is a typical trick question that tests attention: “left lane” means the far-left lane, not the center lane. The center lane may be used only when necessary for the maneuvers mentioned above. Do not confuse this layout with an ordinary two-way road with one lane in each direction, where entering the opposing lane may be allowed for a legal and safe passing maneuver.
