You are on a road with two or more lanes in your direction. The lanes are not busy. Where should you normally drive?

  1. In the left lane, if you drive at the speed limit
  2. In the right lane, and use the left lane to pass
  3. In the middle of the road, between the lanes
  4. In any lane, as long as you signal
Show answer

Correct answer: In the right lane, and use the left lane to pass

Staying in the left lane is not allowed just because you drive at the limit. Use the left lane to pass, or when traffic moves in steady lines.
