What is the best lane position to use as you approach the crest of the hill?

When approaching the crest of a hill, the best lane position is to use LP1, which is the farthest to the right within your lane. This positioning is important for several reasons.

Firstly, LP1 allows you to maximize visibility around the hill. By being positioned closer to the right edge, you have a better chance of being able to see oncoming traffic as you crest the hill, especially if the road is narrow or if vehicles are coming from the other side.

Secondly, positioning your vehicle in LP1 can provide a safety buffer in case someone comes into your lane unexpectedly. It also assists in managing the space you have on the road, allowing for a smoother transition should you need to maneuver or react to any potential hazards.

In contrast, other lane positions, such as LP2 (center of the lane) or LP3 (left side of the lane), might limit your visibility and increase the risk associated with any oncoming vehicles. The leftmost lane position can be particularly disadvantageous, as it places you further from the edge, potentially reducing your response options as you navigate over the hill. Thus, opting for LP1 promotes both safety and visibility while driving.
