Correct answer

  • ASí, para no obstaculizar al vehículo que le sigue.Yes, so as not to obstruct the vehicle behind it.
Explanation

Yes. After overtaking, the driver must return to their lane, the right-hand one, as soon as possible and gradually (Article 85 of the General Traffic Regulations), so as not to obstruct those coming behind. The left lane being free does not allow you to stay in the centre lane.
