When you're overtakingThis was the right answer

The right-hand lane of the motorway is for overtaking. Once overtaking is completed, you should return to the lane on your left.

Sometimes you may be directed into a right-hand lane as a result of roadworks or an incident. This will be indicated by signs or officers directing the traffic.
