DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to Article 31(2) of the General Traffic Regulations (formerly Article 32), outside built-up areas, on a roadway with three or more lanes for the same direction, trucks and vans of more than 3,500 kg normally drive in the rightmost one and may use the next one when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable, provided that they do not hinder the progress of another vehicle following them. The rule contemplates only the right lane and the next one: it does not allow using any of the three without distinction, nor does it require staying in the right one at all times.
