I just thought I would pass some info on as recently there has been some conjecture regarding keeping left unless overtaking...on multi lane roads. For everyones info, if you are on a 3 lane road/highway and the speed limit is 80km/h or above, then you have to keep left unless overtaking. Now, this i...
