Question: Driving in the left (passing) lane on a freeway when not passing:
Answer options:
- Is encouraged ✅ Is discouraged — keep right except to pass
- Is required
- Doesn't matter
Correct answer: Is discouraged — keep right except to pass
Explanation: Ontario’s Official MTO Driver’s Handbook states that drivers should always keep to the right lane except when passing, making left-lane cruising discouraged. Staying in the left lane when not passing disrupts traffic flow and can cause dangerous situations; therefore, it is neither required, encouraged, nor irrelevant. Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, slower vehicles must travel in the right-hand lane to allow faster traffic to pass safely on the left. On the G2 and G road tests, examiners will penalize drivers who fail to keep right when the lane is clear, as proper lane discipline is crucial for freeway safety.
