DSA Advice: Motorways

An email alert from the DSA advising on driving on motorways:

Rule 264

You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear.

If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past.

Slow-moving or speed-restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking.

You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by the police, Highways Agency traffic officers in uniform or by signs.
