On a four-lane highway, where should the group leader usually ride?

• A. In the left of the right lane
• B. In the right lane
• C. In the center of the left lane
• D. On the shoulder

Answer: (A)

When driving as a group on a four-lane highway, the lead vehicle should sit in the lane immediately to the left of the far-right lane. This position keeps the group in a stable, predictable line and makes it easier for the following vehicles to maintain spacing and to pass if needed without weaving into the leftmost lanes. It also keeps the far-right lane open for merging traffic, exits, or faster vehicles, reducing the chance of conflicts. Riding in the shoulder is unsafe and not allowed, and the other lane positions tend to place the group in traffic that’s either too fast (left) or too disruptive to merge (center-left).
