Motorway driving

On the motorway a minimum speed of 60 km/h applies. You always drive as far to the right as possible — the left lane is only for overtaking. After overtaking you return immediately to the right. U-turns, reversing and stopping on the carriageway are prohibited. When breaking down drive to the hard shoulder, switch on hazard lights and place the warning triangle 100 metres away. In a traffic jam create an emergency corridor: left lanes move left, right lane moves right.
