Zorluk: OrtaTowing Trailers and Caravans

When driving a car towing a trailer on a motorway that has three or more lanes, you are legally permitted to use the outside (right-hand) lane to overtake slower traffic provided you do not exceed the 60 mph speed limit.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False
Under the UK Highway Code, drivers towing any trailer, caravan, or horsebox must not use the right-hand (outside) lane of a motorway with three or more lanes, unless directed to do so by traffic signs or during lane closures.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the vehicle configuration and the road type.
A car towing a trailer travelling on a motorway with three or more lanes.
Specific statutory restrictions apply to towing combinations on multi-lane high-speed roads.
2
Recall UK Highway Code motorway lane restrictions for towing vehicles (Rule 265).
Vehicles towing trailers are banned from using the outside (right-hand) lane on motorways with three or more lanes under normal driving conditions.
This rule maintains lane discipline, prevents obstruction of faster overtaking traffic, and reduces collision risks associated with larger or heavier vehicle combinations.
3
Evaluate the accuracy of the statement.
The statement asserts that using the right-hand lane to overtake is permissible provided speed is maintained, which contradicts the legal prohibition.
Speed compliance does not override lane restriction regulations.
