Explanation
When planning to pass a vehicle, always signal before merging into the left lane and again when returning to the right lane. Keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you to maintain a clear view of the left lane. Check all blind spots and stay within the posted speed limit. Passing multiple vehicles at once is dangerous, so never attempt it - stick to passing one vehicle at a time.
