After you have completed a passing maneuver on a multi-lane highway, your next step is to:

After finishing a passing maneuver on a multi-lane highway, you should move back to the right-hand lane as soon as it is safe to do so. The left lane is intended for passing or faster-moving traffic, so returning to the right lane keeps that lane open for others who need to pass or travel at higher speeds and helps maintain smooth traffic flow. Before changing lanes back, signal, check mirrors and blind spots, and ensure there is a clear gap so you don’t cut off the vehicle in the adjacent lane. Braking sharply to signal others is dangerous and unnecessary, and lingering in the left lane after passing can create hazards and impede traffic.
