Explanation
When planning to pass another vehicle, you should not count on other drivers to make room for you. Never assume that the other driver will move over or slow down to accommodate your passing. You should only pass when it is safe and legal to do so, and you have enough space to return to the driving lane. Before passing, you should always look ahead for road conditions and traffic that may cause other vehicles to move into your lane, such as people, bicyclists, or reduced lane width.
