When you are behind the wheel of a car, you must always be careful what you decide to do, even when you are in a hurry and in the fast lane. Laws are made to be respected, in any case and condition, except when an emergency is in progress.
No distractions are allowed at the wheel e transgressions or because you are in a hurry nor for other reasons.
The risk is to receive a maxi-fine especially if you commit particularly dangerous infractions that put your own safety and that of others at risk.
What drivers of cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles cannot do in the fast lane
From now on, no more joking, those who continue to do so accept the consequences, heavy fines that must be paid in any case and under any conditions. No driver of vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, buses, can overtake in certain conditions, so you must first of all get informed and then respect the law, which as we know in any field, does not admit ignorance.
The fast lane according to some research conducted in the last period is the exact point of the road where more accidents occur because that is where you risk it, that is where many users are placed without giving weight to the action.
It should be known that occupying the fast lane for meters and meters, or even for kilometers, without actually having to overtake other cars present or not, is a crime in all respects. So it is a real offense, whoever makes a mistake pays. Many motorists, despite having the right lane free, occupy the overtaking lane, the one on the left, causing slowdowns and in some cases even accidents.
What the highway code says and what offenders risk
The habit is common but not good at all. The highway code has always prohibited this move, therefore this is not new these days. But apparently now the controls will be more and more rigid and we really need to open our eyes. Whoever commits this infringement risks receiving a fine ranging from 40 to 168 euros.
According to the law it is necessary to occupy only and exclusively the right lane if it is free and the left lane therefore dedicated to overtaking, only when you have to overtake the other cars and then re-enter immediately afterwards. The same rule applies to cars that overtake on the right, or that occupy the emergency lane. Except that in this case the offenders risk a fine ranging from € 81 to € 326.
