When is it appropriate for a driver to travel in the left lane on a multi-lane road?
On a multi-lane road, the left lane is generally intended for passing slower vehicles and preparing for a left turn, rather than continuous travel at the speed limit. This ensures smoother traffic flow and allows faster traffic to pass safely without weaving between lanes. Remaining in the left lane without passing can impede traffic, leading to congestion and possible road rage incidents.
