Is there a fast lane in the UK?

What is the fast lane actually called?

A passing lane is commonly referred to as a "fast lane" because it is often used for extended periods of time for through traffic or fast traffic. In theory, a passing lane should be used only for passing, thus allowing, even on a road with only two lanes in each direction, motorists to travel at their own pace.

Which side is the Fast lane UK?

When driving on motorways in the UK, you should always be in the left lane. There is no such thing as a 'fast lane'. The middle and right lanes should only be used to overtake slower traffic.

Can you go faster in the fast lane?

You can stay in the fast lane while following at a safe distance, or you can switch to another lane. As long as you're not driving faster than the speed limit, you're not breaking the law, even if you end up passing someone on the right. Multi-lane highways are set up that way for a reason.
