Which of the following vehicles must obligatorily use the right-hand lane on motorways with more than three lanes in each direction?
Special vehicles
Explanation
On motorways with more than three lanes in each direction, **special vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MMA) exceeding 3500 kg must obligatorily drive in the right lane**. This is because these vehicles, along with trucks and vans that also exceed 3500 kg, have specific restrictions to ensure traffic safety and flow.
- **Mandatory right lane:** These vehicles must always use the right lane and can only use the adjacent lane in specific situations, such as overtaking, provided they do not obstruct other drivers.
- **Traffic restrictions:** They cannot occupy more lanes than the right and the adjacent one, which limits their mobility compared to lighter or smaller vehicles.
Therefore, special vehicles with an MMA exceeding 3500 kg are required to drive in the right lane on motorways with more than three lanes in each direction, unlike other vehicles such as motorcycles or vehicle combinations over 5 meters in length, which do not have this specific restriction.
