On a two-way road with one lane in each direction, before overtaking on the left using the oncoming lane, you must check that...

Correct answer

there is enough space to return to the right-hand lane once the manoeuvre has finished.

There is enough space to return safely to your right-hand lane on completion. You must also check visibility, available space, signs, speeds and manoeuvres of vehicles ahead or behind, and signal where required. The vehicle being overtaken does not have to reduce speed as a prerequisite. Do not overtake several vehicles if you cannot return safely to the right when another approaches.
