Passing
- If you determine that passing is both permitted and advisable under the circumstances, you should:
- Check your mirrors.
- Activate the left turn signal.
- Check over your shoulder to make sure that no vehicle is passing your car.
- Accelerate moderately.
- Turn the steering wheel slightly to the left to move into the oncoming lane of traffic.
- Accelerate briskly to the speed limit.
- Pass the slower-moving vehicle.
- Advance to a position beyond the slower-moving vehicle.
- Activate your right-turn signal to show that you plan to return to the right lane.
- Make sure that you can see the entire vehicle that you just passed in your rearview mirror.
- If you can see the vehicle that you passed, you may return to the right lane.
- Steer smoothly into the right lane.
- Cancel your turn signal if the signal did not cancel automatically.
