Once the overtaking maneuver is complete, how should the driver merge back into their lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that returning to the right lane must be done safely for both the overtaking driver and the vehicle being overtaken. The correct procedure is: Verify: Check the rearview mirror until the front of the overtaken vehicle is visible, ensuring a safe distance. Signal: Activate the right turn signal (indicator). Execute: Perform the lateral movement gradually and progressively, without forcing the other user to change their speed or path. The other options are incorrect because changing lanes abruptly can cut off the other driver creating a hazard, and reducing speed immediately upon returning could cause a rear-end collision.
