Question 7205

After passing the passenger car and the truck, the green car wants to keep passing other vehicles. Must it return to the right lane first?

  1. Yes, but only when vehicles behind are traveling faster.
  2. No, because on freeways it is not required to return to the right lane.
  3. Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, but only when vehicles behind are traveling faster.

With two or more lanes in your direction, you may stay in the left lane to continue passing, but only if you do not hold up faster vehicles approaching from behind. If one approaches, like the blue passenger car behind the green one in the image, return to the right and let it pass. You must return to the right lane on a freeway too.
