Why Should You Return to the Original Lane After Overtaking?

[NoraLynn]

According to Article 47 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China': On roads without a central dividing line or with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, when the leading vehicle receives an overtaking signal from the following vehicle, it should reduce speed and move to the right to give way if conditions permit. The following vehicle should overtake from the left side of the leading vehicle after confirming there is sufficient safe distance, and after maintaining a necessary safe distance from the overtaken vehicle, turn on the right turn signal and return to the original lane. Additional Information: After overtaking, the vehicle must return to the original lane to continue driving. However, if the vehicle enters another lane without overtaking, this is considered a lane change rather than overtaking.
