But... that method is slow, retarded, and unsafe. I would rather suggest only following the first two steps, replacing 3 with:
The technique used for determining the proper following distance is called the "2-second rule." This technique involves keeping a distance of at least 2 seconds between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you while driving. This allows for enough time to react to sudden stops or changes in traffic conditions.
Brake the same way regardless of whether you have ABS
Correct, you should not honk while passing another vehicle on the road as it can startle the other driver and may lead to a dangerous situation. It is important to always pass safely by following traffic rules and using proper signals.
So long as you are not speeding as you are passing yes. However if the vehicle you are passing is traveling at the speed limit the cop that books you will contend that you had no reason for passing.
Passing to the right of another vehicle is usually permitted when the vehicle being passed is making a left hand turn. If the turn is proper, the driver should be close to the center line of the road but not over. This, on a standard road, leaves sufficient distance for most vehicles to pass on the right.
Be sure you are in a passing zone.

There are a couple scenarios in this situation when a vehicle passes you on the left on a 2 lane highway. To answer your question, you should maintain your speed, but you can also slow down a little bit to get the passing vehicles past you faster. If there's a danger of a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle and the vehicle passing you, you need to pay attention to what the passing vehicle does, only one of two scenarios will occur: If the passing vehicle decides to speed up to get past you to, you need to slow down! If the passing vehicle slows down to drop back behind you, you need to speed up! Whatever the passing vehicle decides to do in that scenario you do the opposite. The idea is to get the vehicle back into the right lane as quickly as possible!
Be sure you are not in a no passing zone.
the safe and legal passing of another vehicle requires that drive
That depends on how quickly you need to get past the vehicle you're passing. If I'm passing on a two lane highway with no traffic coming the other direction, in my opinion, a reasonable speed would be 10-20 MPH faster than the vehicle you're passing.
