BDifficulty 2/5

Outside a built-up area, on a carriageway with three lanes in its direction, a car has finished overtaking and will not immediately overtake again. If safe, must it return to the right lane?

Correct answer

Yes, return gradually and safely.

Yes. Return gradually and safely without forcing the overtaken vehicle to change course or speed. Use the right lane in ordinary travel. A free lane further left does not justify remaining unnecessarily in the middle lane. The prompt excludes continued overtaking and describes the situation without relying on an image of a red vehicle.
