What is the correct procedure to pass a vehicle in front of you?

To pass a vehicle in front of you, first ensure it's safe by checking for oncoming traffic and signaling your intention. Accelerate smoothly and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle you're passing. Move into the left lane (or right lane in countries that drive on the left) and overtake decisively. Once you’ve clearly passed the vehicle and can see it in your rearview mirror, signal and return to your lane safely.
