You are driving on a two-lane dual carriageway in light traffic. You move into the right-hand lane to overtake a slower vehicle. After overtaking, there is nothing immediately ahead of you in either lane, and the speed limit remains the same. What should you do next?

Explanation

According to the Highway Code, Rule 137, on a two-lane dual carriageway you should stay in the left-hand lane. The right-hand lane is for overtaking or turning right. Once you have finished overtaking and it is safe, you must return to the left-hand lane rather than continue in the right-hand lane. Staying in the right-hand lane unnecessarily can obstruct faster traffic and may cause congestion or unsafe manoeuvres by other drivers.
