Question 756 in the bank

While driving on a road with two lanes in your direction of driving:

  1. You are always permitted to drive on the left lane only.
  2. Correct answer: You are obliged to drive in the right lane, unless you are overtaking or turning left.
  3. You are permitted to drive on the right or left lane, according to the type of the vehicle.
  4. You may drive on either lane, as long as you don’t cause any risk to traffic.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: You are obliged to drive in the right lane, unless you are overtaking or turning left.

On a road with two lanes in your direction, the basic rule is to keep to the right lane. The left lane is meant for overtaking or for getting ready to turn left, and after overtaking you should return to the right. You may not simply pick any lane just because there is no danger, since staying in the left lane blocks vehicles that want to overtake.
