Correct answer
No; it must return to the right lane when safe.
Outside built-up areas, vehicles normally use the rightmost lane. In the stated conditions, the car must return to it when safe. Other lanes may be used when traffic or road conditions justify it, without obstructing a following vehicle; they are not used exclusively for overtaking.
