On an interurban roadway with three lanes for the same direction of travel, is a motorcycle allowed to drive in the far left lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule is that you must ride on the right. However, on roadways with more than one lane in the same direction, motorcycles may use the remaining lanes (including the left or third lane) when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable (for example, to overtake or in heavy traffic), provided they do not obstruct the progress of faster vehicles. It is important to distinguish this from the rule for trucks over 3,500 kg or vehicle combinations over 7 meters long, which ARE prohibited from using the third lane. Motorcycles do not have this restriction and follow the general rules for passenger cars.
