Questions Learners Have About Motorway Overtaking Rules

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Motorway Overtaking Rules, including how questions match the official theory exam in Belgium, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What are the main rules for overtaking on Belgian motorways?

On Belgian motorways, you must generally overtake on the left. After completing an overtake, you are required to return to the rightmost available lane as soon as it is safe to do so, unless you are immediately preparing another overtake.

Is undertaking (overtaking on the right) allowed on Belgian motorways?

Undertaking (overtaking on the right) is strictly prohibited on Belgian motorways, except in situations where traffic is moving in slow, dense queues in all lanes at similar low speeds, where it is considered 'filtering' rather than overtaking.

What is 'lane hogging' and is it illegal in Belgium?

'Lane hogging' refers to unnecessarily remaining in a middle or left lane on a multi-lane motorway when the right-hand lane is clear. This is illegal in Belgium and can result in a fine, with enforcement increasingly using cameras and drones.

Can heavy goods vehicles (trucks) use all lanes on a Belgian motorway?

On Belgian motorways with three or more lanes in one direction, vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) exceeding 3.5 tonnes (e.g., trucks) are generally restricted to the two rightmost lanes. They may not use the leftmost (fastest) lane.

What should I do if a vehicle in front of me is 'lane hogging' in the left lane?

If a vehicle in front is unnecessarily occupying the left lane on a Belgian motorway, you must not undertake them on the right. You should maintain a safe distance and may signal your intention to overtake using your indicators or a brief flash of your headlights, but you must wait for them to move over or for a safe opportunity to overtake on the left.
