When passing other vehicles, drivers should:

Pass the vehicle as slowly as possible.
Apply the brake and slow down.
Make sure the passing lane is clear of traffic, and check behind and to the left to make sure another vehicle is not attempting to pass.
All of the above.
Explanation

By checking the passing lane and monitoring the rear and left side, drivers can assess the situation and determine if it's safe to proceed with the pass. Signaling the intention to pass and accelerating appropriately is crucial for notifying other drivers of your actions. After completing the pass, it's important to return to the right lane as soon as the front of the passed vehicle is visible in the rearview mirror.
