BDifficulty 2/5

On a carriageway with at least two lanes for its direction, a car will make another permitted overtake immediately after the previous one. Must it always return to the right-hand lane between them?

Correct answer

No, it may remain if safe and without unduly obstructing faster following vehicles.

No. It may remain in the lane used for the previous overtake if it checks that it does not unduly obstruct faster following vehicles and can perform the manoeuvre safely. This does not authorise permanent occupation of the left lane: return to the proper lane when required, signalling and without forcing others to change direction or speed.
