Should the driver of a passenger car change his/her lane after overtaking the right lane?
Answer options
Explanation
No — inside a built-up area on a road with two or more lanes per direction you are not required to return to the right-hand lane. The picture shows a city street: a double solid line separates the oncoming side and there is more than one lane in your direction, with the truck in the right lane and you in the left after overtaking. The lane-choice rule for built-up areas lets a driver pick the most suitable lane, so staying left after the overtake is no offence. Outside built-up areas it is different — there you must keep as close to the right edge as possible. The trap is memorising return to your lane after overtaking as an unconditional rule; first check whether you are in a built-up area and how many lanes your direction has.
