What lane should you be driving in on a motorway if you want to overtake?

The right lane
The left lane
The middle lane
Any lane that is free

The correct answer is: The right lane

When driving on a motorway, the right lane is generally the correct lane for overtaking. This is because the left lane is often used for slower moving traffic and the right lane is used for passing. The middle lane is also not ideal for overtaking as it can cause congestion in heavy traffic. While it may seem like any lane that is free could be used for overtaking, it is important to remember that constantly changing lanes can be dangerous and increase the chances of accidents. Additionally, there may be other factors to consider such as merging traffic or upcoming exits in different lanes. It is important to follow the flow of traffic and use the designated overtaking lane when necessary.
