Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations (Article 31(2)), on roadways outside built-up areas that have three or more lanes for the same direction of travel, combined vehicles more than seven meters long, as well as trucks and vans with a maximum authorized mass (MAM) greater than 3,500 kg, normally drive in the rightmost lane. They may use the immediately adjacent one when traffic or road circumstances make it advisable, provided that they do not obstruct the progress of another vehicle following them. They are not permitted to use the third lane or those further to the left. That is why it is correct to drive in the right lane and, if circumstances make it advisable, in the immediately adjacent one; limiting oneself to the right lane in any circumstances is more restrictive than what the rule says, and using any of the three lanes is not permitted.
