Is it correct to immediately turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane after overtaking?

No, you should first turn on the left turn signal, switch between high and low beams or honk the horn, then overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front. After maintaining a safe distance, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. Therefore, it is incorrect to immediately turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane after overtaking. More details are as follows: 1. Legal basis: According to Article 47 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When overtaking, the motor vehicle shall turn on the left turn signal in advance, switch between high and low beams or honk the horn. On roads without a central line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the vehicle in front receives an overtaking signal from the vehicle behind, it shall reduce speed and give way to the right if conditions permit. 2. Timing of overtaking: The vehicle behind should overtake from the left side of the vehicle in front only after confirming a sufficient safe distance. After maintaining the necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane.
