LANE SELECTION

Special lanes

Driving straight, you are not allowed to drive in special lanes, including tram tracks.

To turn or overtake a vehicle turning right you may enter:

bicycle lane - within 50 meters to the turn;

all other lanes (bus, taxi, truck, etc) -  within 100 meters to the turn.

The above exceptions when you can enter a special lane are specified in ARR r.158, and include council white line near the kerb that reserves an area for parking: you can enter this area for slowing down before left turn (though not advisable during your driving test).
