Cevap

Move across to the left-hand lane as soon as it is safe to do so
According to the Highway Code, the left-hand lane is the standard driving lane on all motorways. Middle and right-hand lanes are designated strictly for overtaking. Once an overtaking manoeuvre is completed and the left lane is clear, the driver must return to the left-hand lane as soon as it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Complete the overtaking manoeuvre and assess surrounding road space using mirrors and blind spot checks
Confirm that the vehicle just overtaken is a safe distance behind and the left-hand lane ahead is clear
Observations ensure that changing lanes does not cut across the path of the overtaken vehicle
2
Signal if necessary and move smoothly back into the left-hand lane
The vehicle is positioned in the primary driving lane
The Highway Code requires drivers to keep to the left-hand lane on motorways whenever it is clear
