Is a driver permitted to remain in the overtaking lane to perform a new overtaking maneuver without returning to the right lane first?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule requires driving on the right and returning to that lane after overtaking. However, Traffic Regulations establish an important exception to avoid abrupt and continuous maneuvering (zig-zagging).  Yes, you are allowed to remain in the left lane (overtaking lane) if you are going to perform a new overtaking maneuver immediately, but with a mandatory condition: you must not hinder the progress of vehicles approaching from behind at a higher speed. If you observe in your rearview mirror that a faster vehicle is approaching, you are obliged to return to the right lane, let them pass, and then initiate your next overtaking maneuver.
