Once the overtaking of the orange car is completed, can the grey vehicle remain driving in the left lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is No, it must return to the right lane. According to General Traffic Regulations, drivers must generally drive on the right. Additional lanes are used for overtaking. Therefore, once the overtaking maneuver is completed and a safe distance from the overtaken vehicle has been reached, it is mandatory to return to the right lane. You would only be allowed to continue in the left lane if you intended to perform another immediate overtake and were not hindering faster vehicles behind you, a circumstance not mentioned here.
