In this situation, are you obliged after performing an overtaking manoeuvre to enter the right traffic lane?

Description

Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act of June 20, 1997 (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The recording shows that you are finishing an overtaking manoeuvre of a truck, and the right lane ahead of you is clear. According to Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver is obliged to drive as close to the right edge of the roadway as possible. This means that after overtaking, you must return to the right lane instead of unnecessarily occupying the left lane.
