On a multi-lane highway, after completing a pass, what should you do?

After finishing a passing maneuver on a multi-lane highway, you should return to the middle or right lane. The left lane is primarily for overtaking, so once you’ve passed, moving back helps keep that lane open for others who are passing and prevents blocking faster traffic. Before changing lanes, signal and check your mirrors and blind spots, wait for a safe gap, and merge smoothly into the right or middle lane at a speed that matches surrounding traffic. Remaining in the left lane, slowing down, or drifting into the right lane without a clear, safe merge can create hazards and disrupt traffic flow.
