Correct answer
Yes, provided that the right-hand lane is clear and traffic conditions allow it.
When we overtake and travel in the left-hand lane after passing the overtaken vehicle, the driver must signal the lateral movement to the right again and return to the right-hand lane progressively and safely, provided that lane is clear and traffic conditions allow it. Under no circumstances should the driver make sudden steering movements or abrupt changes of position to return to the right-hand lane.
