Outside built-up areas, on a roadway with three lanes in the same direction, when is it permitted to drive in the far-left lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule requires driving in the right-most lane. However, on interurban roads with more than one lane in the same direction, using the remaining lanes is permitted when traffic or road conditions advise it (for example, high traffic density or saturation), provided that you do not obstruct the progress of another vehicle following you. Note: This rule does not apply to trucks over 3,500 kg or vehicle combinations over 7 meters, which are prohibited from using the third lane.
