Correct answer

  • Aincorporándose al carril de forma gradual sin obstaculizar el tráfico.by moving back into the lane gradually, without obstructing traffic.
Explanation

You must finish overtaking by moving back into the lane gradually, without obstructing other road users. This is backed by Article 85.3 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), which says that the driver who has overtaken must return to their lane as soon as possible, gradually, and without forcing other road users to change their path or speed. Not doing so can put road safety at risk and cause accidents.
