In this situation, can you go straight on to any lane if there are no other vehicles in the tunnel?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving through a tunnel with three lanes in your direction and there are no other vehicles in it. Even on an empty roadway you cannot drive in any lane you like: the rules require you to keep as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that the driver must drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway, and when lanes are marked, must not occupy more than one lane. An empty tunnel is not an exception - a faster vehicle may catch up with you in a moment, and it should have a free left lane for overtaking. You drive in the right lane, and you use the middle and left lanes only when you are overtaking someone.
