You’re in the left-hand lane on a three-lane motorway. Why should you check for any vehicles in the right-hand lane before you overtake?

Explanation: Vehicles overtaking in the right-hand lane may return to the centre lane when they've finished their manoeuvre. You should look for this before starting to pull out. Don't rely on the size of your vehicle to claim right of way.
