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.
