Explanation
If you must pass, do so only when you won’t interfere with oncoming traffic or the vehicle you’re passing, and be sure you have enough distance to pass safely. Check your mirrors and blind spots, turn on your left turn signal, then change lanes and pass on the left. Before returning to your own lane, signal and wait until you can see the vehicle you are passing in your rear-view mirror.
