Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You drive in the left lane of a highway with two lanes in your direction. You are not passing, turning left or exiting on the left. A faster car comes up behind you. What does Minnesota law require?
Blue car A occupies the highway’s left lane, with silver B approaching behind. Neither a right-lane route nor a braking cue appears.
Correct answer: Move out of the left lane when it is practical, so that the car can pass
Why
A driver who stays in the left lane makes others pass on the right and change lanes more often, which raises the crash risk. Use the right lane when it is available, and keep the left lane for passing. If you drive slower than other traffic, stay in the lane nearest the right side.
