Pass is a low area between mountains, or to move or cause to move in a specified direction. But in your question, "pass" is a verb" and "drive" is a verb. You cannot use these two verbs as verbs together.

We pass another car in the passing lane, for example. However, once we pass another driver or car, we passed them or we drove past them; the verb becomes past tense because the action already occurred. So the correct wording would be we drive pastanother car.

However, in a sentence like, "Please drive past the mall", the word past modifiers the verb -- so past is an adverb, describing a specific way (direction) the person is driving.

So, there is absolutely no situation in which you would write "drive pass". To drive, to pass are both verbs. You must write "drive past", so past modifies the verb.

How do you use pass and past?

Pass...The student was confident he would pass his exams. (pass = gain)Jack asked his brother to pass the salt. (pass = transfer)Past...History teaches us about past events. (past - previous)Those two words can sound very similar, especially the past tense of pass, which is passed. But they are entirely different. They both have more than one meaning. To pass can mean, to travel beyond, as in pass the car in front of you on the left. To pass can mean to get an acceptable grade on a test. To pass can mean to hand something over; pass me the salt, please. To pass can mean to be accepted, as in, because of her relatively light complexion she could pass for white.
