As a general rule, on interurban roads with several lanes for the same direction of travel, in which lane must a car drive?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is in the right lane. According to General Traffic Regulations, on roads outside built-up areas (interurban roads) with more than one lane for the same direction, you must normally drive in the lane furthest to the right.  The other lanes to your left (center or left) should be used only when traffic or road conditions make it advisable (for example, to overtake or facilitate merging), provided you do not obstruct other vehicles following you. Once the maneuver is complete, you must return to the right lane.  Clarification: The option to 'drive in the lane that best suits your destination' applies exclusively to urban roads (inside towns) with lanes marked by road markings.
