Highways and motorways
Explanation
On a motorway or dual carriageway, the **central lane** can be used in certain specific cases. It is important to know that this lane is not just for general driving, but has specific uses:
- **Overtaking**: If you need to overtake another vehicle that is moving slower, you can use the central lane to do so safely. This helps maintain traffic flow and prevents congestion.
- **Changing direction to the left**: If you need to take an exit or change direction to the left, the central lane allows you to position yourself properly to make the change safely.
These actions are permitted as long as you do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and follow traffic regulations. It is essential to remember that the use of the central lane should be temporary and only for these specific maneuvers.
