After performing an overtaking maneuver, at what moment must the driver return to the right lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that once you have passed the vehicle or vehicles you intended to overtake, you must return to the right lane as soon as possible, performing the maneuver gradually and without endangering other road users. It is crucial to verify through your rearview mirrors that there is sufficient distance so as not to cut off the overtaken vehicle or force them to change their speed. The other options are incorrect because returning does not depend on a specific speed (like 60 km/h) or a fixed number of overtaken vehicles, but rather on the safety of the available space.
