Northern Territory · Driver Knowledge Test · Road rules

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

The answer

  • Only between sunset and sunrise
  • Only if you are towing
  • Whenever you like
  • Only when overtaking or turning right Correct

Why that's the answer

The Road Users' Handbook is explicit: on roads with a speed limit of more than 80 km/h, or where a KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING sign applies, you must drive in the left lane unless you are overtaking or turning right. Sitting in the right lane otherwise holds up faster traffic and is an offence.
