Correct answer
No, they must move into the right-hand lane.
No. Return to the right lane as soon as this can be done safely without forcing the overtaken vehicle to change course or speed. Articles 31 and 85.3 of the General Traffic Regulations establish normal use of the right lane outside built-up areas and returning to position after overtaking. Merely avoiding obstruction does not justify staying unnecessarily in the left lane. This rule should not be generalised to every lane on urban roads.
