Explanation

Passing another vehicle is a common maneuver when driving, but it can also be dangerous if not done properly. When passing, it is important to pass the vehicle safely and as quickly as possible. Before passing, check in your mirrors and signal your lane change. Quickly look over your left shoulder to ensure there is no vehicle close behind you in the left lane. Pass the vehicle by moving completely into the left lane. Before you return to your lane, check your rear-view mirror to make sure you can see the vehicle you just passed.
