Which lane should vehicles not drive in when their speed is above 90 but below 110?

Motor vehicles with speeds above 90 km/h but below 110 km/h should not drive in the leftmost lane. Below is relevant information about highways. Speed regulations on highways: The speed requirement for the fast lane is generally 80 km/h to 120 km/h; the speed requirement for the slow lane is generally 60 km/h to 100 km/h; the average speed on highways should not be lower than 60 km/h. If you must slow down due to a malfunction, you can turn on the turn signal, change lanes, and call for help. The normal distance between vehicles is generally about 15m to 20m because speeds on highways are very fast, making it difficult to brake in time to react in case of an emergency stop. Precautions on highways: Strictly distinguish the functions of lanes and drive in designated lanes. Generally, drive in the main lane and only use the overtaking lane when overtaking to ensure smooth traffic flow. Strictly adhere to speed limit regulations, as speeding can easily lead to accidents. Driving too slowly can hinder the normal flow of other vehicles. In rainy or snowy conditions, speed should be reduced accordingly. Maintain a safe following distance. Under normal circumstances, on dry roads with good braking conditions, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h).
Having driven for decades, my experience tells me that when traveling at speeds between 90 to 110 km/h, it's best not to occupy the far-left lane on the highway. This lane is commonly known as the passing lane, reserved for high-speed overtaking, where speeds should ideally be around 120 km/h. If you're driving below 110 km/h and persistently block this lane, vehicles wanting to overtake will constantly honk or flash their lights, which can easily lead to traffic congestion or even rear-end collisions. I remember once during a long-distance drive, a driver was crawling slowly in the passing lane, causing the entire road to jam up. In actual driving, it's wise to stay in the middle lane where speeds match and it's much safer, also complying with traffic regulations. Highway lane layouts are quite clear: the left lane for overtaking, the middle lane for normal driving, and the right lane for slower vehicles or exits. Following these rules makes for smoother journeys with fewer headaches.
