After you have passed a car, you should return to your previous lane when:

You believe it is safe to do so.
There are 300 feet between you and the vehicle you passed.
There is oncoming traffic.
None of the above.
Explanation

After passing a vehicle, always check your rearview mirror to ensure you can see the front bumper of the vehicle you just passed before merging back into your previous lane. This strategy helps you avoid cutting off other drivers and reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. Avoid relying solely on your perception of the space between vehicles.
