When two or more lanes of traffic are traveling in the same direction, you must drive in the:

  1. Rightmost lane

  2. Leftmost lane

  3. Fastest lane

  4. Middle lane

The correct answer is: Rightmost lane

When two or more lanes of traffic are traveling in the same direction, you must drive in the rightmost lane because it is the lane closest to the curb or edge of the road, which provide the safest driving position. The leftmost lane is typically reserved for carpool or high occupancy vehicle lanes, and the middle lane may be designated for passing or through traffic. Choosing the fastest lane is not always recommended as it may lead to speeding and potentially unsafe driving practices.
