Generally, which lane should you be in if you are planning to leave the motorway?

The left-hand lane
The middle lane
The right-hand lane
The hard shoulder

The correct answer is: The left-hand lane

When planning to leave the motorway, the left-hand lane is the appropriate choice as it is designated for vehicles preparing to exit. Motorways are designed with multiple lanes for different types of traffic flow, and the left-hand lane is typically where slower-moving traffic and vehicles exiting the motorway should be positioned. This practice helps maintain a smooth flow of traffic and provides an orderly way for drivers to enter and exit the motorway system. Using the left-hand lane to exit helps to avoid unnecessary congestion and the risk of potential accidents that may occur if vehicles in the right or middle lanes suddenly change lanes without warning. Additionally, remaining in the right-hand lane for an exit can lead to late maneuvers, causing stress for both the driver attempting to exit and for other motorists who might be traveling at higher speeds.
