According to Article 31.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, outside built-up areas, on carriageways with more than one lane in your direction, you normally drive in the lane furthest to the right, and the others are only used when traffic or road conditions make it advisable, for example to overtake. Choosing the lane that best suits your destination is only allowed in built-up areas, and not on motorways (Article 33).
