Hallochen an Alle, I have here now a few days rummaged and read articles and always meets the statement that one must not use the middle lane of a highway for a long time. “Mittelspurpennern” is there the talk and everyone always pokes on the right-hand drive in Germany and demands that after every overtaking process again on the right track have to be changed. Of course there is a right-hand drive in Germany, but as it is so with regulations in Germany t, there are exceptions: In the case of roadways with several lanes according to § 7 and § 42 para. 6 no. 1 letter d StVO, if this is justified by the traffic density. And what is now stated in §42 para. 6 no. 1 letter d ? “are marked for a direction 3 lanes outside closed towns so (guideline, sign 340), then the middle lane can be used continuously where – even occasionally – on the right hand side of it a vehicle has The same applies to roads with more than three lanes marked in this way for one direction for the second lane on the right “The length of the route on which no vehicle travels the right lane is not decisive; rather, it depends on the duration of possible driving on the right lane, which depends on the driven speeds, OLG Celle VRS 64 382 = StVE § 2 StVO Nr. 21.” (Source: Verkehrsportal.de) “Allows the use of d The right-hand lane, despite vehicles driving ahead, maintains the speed for a long time (significantly more than 20 seconds), so is the right-hand traffic bid, OLG Düsseldorf NZV 90 39.” (Source: Verkehrsportal.de) I hope this can contribute to the fact that in the future fewer people will need the poor middle lane drivers with their light hooves. And if it goes too slowly, it can go to the left lane and overtake us. zille1976
