Explanation
On a four-lane highway, the right lane is usually the slowest lane and is intended for slower-moving vehicles, such as trucks or cars traveling at a slower speed. The left lane is designed for passing, and faster-moving vehicles should use it to overtake slower traffic. Therefore, staying in the right lane when driving slower than the traffic around you not only allows for smoother traffic flow but also increases safety on the road by minimizing lane changes and potential collisions.
