BDifficulty 2/5

After overtaking on the left on a road outside a built-up area, with no immediate further overtake justifying remaining there, where must you position yourself?

Correct answer

In the right-hand lane, ahead of the overtaken vehicle without cutting it off.

Return to the right-hand lane ahead of the overtaken vehicle, leaving enough separation and without forcing it to change speed or course under Article 85.3. Move progressively and signal. On carriageways with multiple lanes in your direction, Article 83.1 allows staying for a further overtake when its conditions are met; remaining there is not always forbidden. The question excludes that case.
