        "summary": "A common misconception among motorists is that maintaining a high speed in the far-right lane is permissible as long as the speed limit is not exceeded. However, experts clarify that the right lane is strictly reserved for overtaking manoeuvres, and drivers must return to the left lane once passing is complete.",
        "content": "<p>Driving on motorways involves more than just adhering to speed limit\nsigns; it requires an understanding of correct lane functions and\nmanagement. One fatal error frequently observed on the road is the\nassumption that driving statically in the far-right lane is permitted,\nprovided the vehicle has reached the maximum speed limit, such as 80\nkm\/h or 100 km\/h.<\/p>\n<p>This \u2018lane hogging\u2019 phenomenon is often driven by driver ego, where\nmotorists believe they are not violating any rules because their\nspeedometer shows they are at the maximum allowed speed. They mistakenly\nbelieve the right lane is their prerogative as long as they do not\nexceed the speed limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is incorrect. The right lane is the overtaking lane. If they\nare not overtaking, they must return to the regular lane,\u201d explained\nJusri to Kompas.com on Sunday (31\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to Jusri, the logic used by drivers who believe they are\njustified in staying in the right lane simply because they are driving\nat the maximum speed limit is indefensible. Under existing regulations,\nmotorway lane management in Indonesia is strictly regulated based on\nfunction, rather than solely on the driver\u2019s maximum speed.<\/p>",
