Explanation
When you intend to pass another vehicle, first check that the lane on your left is clear. Signal your intention to change lanes and begin the pass only when it is safe. Do not remain in the left lane longer than necessary - complete the pass quickly and safely. Before merging back into your original lane, make sure you can see both headlights of the vehicle you passed in your rear-view mirror. Avoid using your horn or headlights unless absolutely necessary to prevent a collision.
