On roads with two or more lanes in the same direction, which lane is designated for passing slower vehicles?

• A. Rightmost
• B. Center
• C. Any lane
• D. Leftmost

Answer: (D)

In multi‑lane traffic moving in the same direction, the leftmost lane is the lane designated for passing slower vehicles. This setup gives faster drivers a predictable place to overtake without weaving through lanes used by through traffic, helping to keep everyone moving smoothly. After you’ve finished passing, you should merge back to a center or right lane to allow others to use the left lane for overtaking as needed. Remember to signal and check mirrors before changing lanes. The rightmost lane is typically for normal driving, not for passing, and the center lane isn’t specifically the passing lane in most situations.
