MSF BASIC ECOURSE: BASIC STREET STRATEGIES EXAM | QUESTIONS & 100% CORRECT ANSWERS (VERIFIED) | LATEST UPDATE | GRADEA+ Positioning - Lane Choice Correct Answer: If there is more than one lane, pick the lane where you do not have to change lanes a lot and can see ahead while being visible to others. Maintain a space cushion all around and ride at the speed of traffic in your lane to help reduce potential conflicts. Consider shoulders and medians as possible escape paths. On freeways, keep right except to pass, and use a middle lane if there are more than two lanes so you can reduce conflicts at entrance and exit points.

To be more visible at an intersection with a limited view to the right. To avoid the dark strip of oil, debris, or manhole covers often found in the middle of a lane. Use the middle third (LP2): 3 To help with hazards on both sides, such as cars parked on the right and traffic in the other lane. To see and be seen at the crest of a hill. To be visible at an intersection with a limited view on both sides. Use the right third (LP3): To avoid windblast from an oncoming truck. To see and be seen when there is a line o
