Question 7200

When you have finished passing another vehicle, must you return to the right lane immediately?

  1. No, if you are driving at the maximum permitted speed for the road.
  2. No, if you are not obstructing the vehicles driving behind you.
  3. Yes, as a general rule.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, as a general rule.

Yes, as a general rule. After passing, return to the right lane as soon as you can, moving over gradually, even if no one is behind you. Driving at the speed limit or not getting in anyone's way does not allow you to stay on the left. You may stay in that lane if you are about to pass again without holding up faster vehicles approaching from behind.
