If you are driving on a highway with two lanes in each direction, once you have completed the overtaking and passed the other vehicle, you are required to return to the right lane unless you are going to overtake again. To return to the right lane, the driver should check in the interior or exterior rear view mirror that they can safely return, signalling the maneuver with the right indicator light or with the arm, and then moving back into the right lane.
