Myth Busters – Keep Left Unless Overtaking
“It is ok to drive in the right-hand lane if there is no ‘Keep Left Unless Overtaking’ sign.”
INCORRECT
If the speed limit is 90km/h (or more) on a multi-lane road you must keep to the left lane unless overtaking, avoiding an obstruction or the left lane is congested. This applies whether there is a ‘Keep Left Unless Overtaking Sign’ or not.
It is an offence ($68 fine and two demerit points) to drive in the right lane if you are not performing one of the above actions.
Of course you must keep also left on multi-lane roads with a speed limit below 90km/h if there is a Keep Left Unless Overtaking sign.
Drivers are only allowed to overtake on the left on multi-lane roads.
