Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Road rules

On a road with a limit over 80 km/h, when may you drive in the right lane?

The answer

  • Never
  • Any time you like
  • When overtaking, turning right, making a U-turn, avoiding an obstruction, or in congested traffic Correct
  • When doing the limit

Why that's the answer

Where the limit is over 80 km/h (or a Keep Left Unless Overtaking sign applies), stay left except to overtake, turn right, make a U-turn, avoid an obstruction, or when traffic in every lane is congested — the exceptions listed in rule 130.
