can commercial vehicles travel on 1st lane ?

[Darth Vader]

was wondering if commercial vehicles can travel on 1st lane.
vehicle speed limit 70km/h but travelling at 100km/h.
whole line of cars no road hogging.

i thought commercial vehicles limited to 70km/h because of the weight of their load will cause serious impact force in a accident.also if speeding their braking distance is big because of their weight.

isnt it dangerous for commercial vehicles to travel on 1st lane ?

do i have the right to honk and flash them ?
i usually dont unless they severe road hogging.

IMO yes it's dangerous, they are heavier and are going much slower on the lane that should be kept for overtaking other vehicles at greater speed, not the max. 70km/h that these guys are supposed to be going at.

You can honk and flash, will they move out of the way....that's another question

Re: can commercial vehicles travel on 1st lane ?

It also depends on the road conditions, I suppose with the mess in the road systems now, I do agree with your assessment that goods and heavy goods vehicles should be driven on the left where possible... but I'm guilty of driving a van on the right sometimes too....

Re: can commercial vehicles travel on 1st lane ?

the answer i think IMHO is simple.
have you seen the way ALL these vehicles move from 1st and 2nd lane to the 3rd lane when they see TP (either by the roadside or mobile)? I have.

must be illegal... ha ha...
cheers.

I beg to differ about 'drivers are dangerous... not the type of vehicles'. It takes a combination of 'moronic' drivers with 'risky' vehicle.

My encounter happened on 8 Feb, the second day of CNY. I took the ramp up joining Lornie Rd (outside Andrew Rd). A good vehicle with high good compartment was on the first lane. It maneuvred to overtake another car; the dynamics was upset, it tilted and 2 right wheels were off the ground. My wife thought it was going to flip over. It didn't. It tilted back and forth a couple more times. And I was 10m behind this Idiot. I drove by and took a look. Thought I saw 'Russ Swift' from the Indian Continent.

What a moron!

Driver A and B drving the same car say Stock Altis.. approaching a tight bend at resonably high speed, Driver A brake in Bend... Driver B brake before approaching the bend. what do you tink the high chances will happen to Driver A?

If a good vehicle with high good compartment tilted and 2 rights wheels off the ground, that vehicle need some workshop inspection immediately or should seriously ban that driver from driving.

by the way, simi si vehicle with "High Good compartment"? Sports Car? Kangoo?

physics aside, lawfully is NO. somewhere in the highway code says commercial vehicles can only keep extreme left, overtake within 70 km/hr, then back to extreme left.

Higher than Kangoo... that they will have height clearance problem when entering the multi storey car park structure. My point is that it takes a combination of human stupidity with poor vehicle handling characteristics. Of course there will be morons who decide that it is spectacular to drive straight into a wall. Take care and be safe.

Many2 nowadays.. most of the time, i realised, are foreign talent.. with this one trying to be Jasmeer Bonbon...

Commercial vehicles are NOT allowed on the 1st lane.. well, i took out my old handy BTT book(blow2 and sneeze2) and realised, we all also not supposed to stick there ma... "Only for overtaking and emergency vehicles"... lolx... I dun care!
However, i realised that driving on the middle or left lanes can many times be faster than 1st lane, due to irritating, irresponsible, id**tic road hoggers.. haiz..
