As I may soon attempt to drive again it seemed wise to learn the driving lingo. Lesson 1 is that passing is called overtaking. Road markings are similar in that on a two lane load one can overtake when the line on your side of the double center line is not solid. I finally got used to the frequent signs saying overtaking lane so many k ahead. Major two lane roads (there are not all that many four lane roads or limited access roads) will periodically change to three lanes. An additional lane on your side is an overtaking or passing lane. Even in four lane roads it is illegal to drive in the inner lane unless one is overtaking.
On some highways semis with more than one trailer are allowed. Such rigs are, not inappropriately, called "road trains". Road trains have plates on the back that say "road train".
