When passing another vehicle, it is safe to return to your lane if you:

Have passed the the other vehicle’s front bumper.
See both headlights in your rearview mirror.
Hear the other vehicle’s horn.
Cannot see the vehicle directly to your right.
Explanation

Before returning to your lane, be sure you are not dangerously close to the vehicle you have just passed. When you can see both headlights of the other vehicle in your rearview mirror, it indicates that you have enough space to safely return to your lane without risking cutting off the other vehicle.
