If you are passing another vehicle on a road with two lanes traveling in opposite directions, you should:

Stay in the lane you used for passing for as long as possible.
Return to your lane immediately.
Return to your lane only when you see the front bumper of the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror.
Return to your lane only when you see the entire vehicle in your side-view mirror.
Explanation

Before passing another vehicle on a two-way highway, always check that the lane on your left is clear of traffic before starting the maneuver. When you wish to merge back into your lane, check that you are able to see the front bumper of the vehicle in your rear-view mirror to ensure that there is enough room between you and the vehicle you have passed.
