After successfully overtaking, what should you do with your indicators?

After successfully overtaking, it is essential to turn your indicators off. The purpose of using indicators is to communicate your intentions to other road users; once the maneuver is complete, there is no longer a need to signal that you have overtaken another vehicle. Leaving indicators on could confuse other drivers into thinking you are still in the process of overtaking or planning another maneuver, which can lead to dangerous situations.

Turning off your indicators confirms that your overtaking maneuver has been completed and that you are returning to your normal driving position. It promotes clarity and safety on the road, ensuring that everyone is aware of your current actions and intentions. This practice is a fundamental aspect of responsible driving and adherence to road safety guidelines.
