In this situation, should you change lanes to the right?

Description

Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The video shows driving in the left lane when the right lane is completely clear. According to Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, a vehicle driver is obliged to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway. This means that the left lane should not be occupied without justification (e.g., overtaking), therefore you should change to the right lane.
