You're driving an articulated lorry on a three-lane motorway. When can you drive in the right-hand lane?

When a police officer directs you to use that laneThis was the right answer

An articulated lorry must not normally use the right-hand lane of a motorway with three or more lanes. Follow an applicable direction from a police officer. A private escort’s wave alone does not create general permission to disregard the lane restriction.
