Explanation
When passing, you must always stay within the speed limit. It is illegal and unsafe to exceed the speed limit just to complete a pass. Additionally, ensure there is enough space to pass safely and return to your lane only when you can see the vehicle you passed in your rearview mirror. Always check road signs and markings to confirm passing is allowed, and carefully assess whether you have enough room to do so safely.
