What lane should you be driving in on the motorway for normal driving?

  1. The left lane

  2. The middle lane

  3. The right lane

  4. Any lane as long as you're driving safely

The correct answer is: The left lane

On a motorway, the left lane is typically the designated lane for normal driving. This lane is intended for standard speed driving and is usually the lane that is least impacted by vehicles exiting or entering the motorway. The middle lane is typically reserved for faster driving or overtaking slower vehicles in the left lane. The right lane is often used for slower vehicles or vehicles preparing to exit the motorway. Driving in any lane as long as you're driving safely may be true, but the left lane is specifically designated for normal driving and is considered the safest option for most drivers.
