Correct answer
- ANo, debe volver al carril derecho.No, you must return to the right-hand lane.
Explanation
After overtaking you must return to your lane as soon as possible and gradually (Article 85.3 of the General Traffic Regulations). Outside built-up areas you normally drive in the right-hand lane; the others may be used when traffic makes it advisable, not only to overtake (Article 31.1).
