Question 7235

When passing, when must you return to the right lane?

  1. When the vehicle you passed is at least 100 meters away.
  2. Right as you go past the vehicle being passed, even if it has to reduce its speed.
  3. As soon as possible and without inconveniencing the vehicle you passed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: As soon as possible and without inconveniencing the vehicle you passed.

You must return to the right lane as soon as you can, moving over gradually without forcing the driver you passed to brake or swerve. There is no fixed distance of 100 meters, and cutting back in just as you go past is prohibited if it forces that driver to brake.
