The ____ lane is for passing and turning.

The ____ lane is for passing and turning.

• A. Left
• B. Right
• C. Center
• D. Middle

Answer: (B)

On multi-lane roads, the left lane is the lane you use for passing slower vehicles and for turning left. You should only move into that lane to overtake, and after you’ve passed, merge back to a right lane to keep the left lane clear for others who need to pass or prepare for a left turn. When you do turn left, position yourself toward the left and signal in advance. If there’s a center two-way left-turn lane, that space is specifically for left turns from either direction, not for through travel. The right lanes are generally for through traffic and normal driving, including right turns when appropriate.
