  1. Check the left-hand lane for oncoming vehicles that may be present at any moment during your passing period.
  2. If it is clear, activate your left-hand turn signal and begin switching to the oncoming lane.
  3. Do not exceed the speed limit as you continue in this lane until the vehicle that is impeding traffic has been fully passed.
  4. Check your original lane and return to it as soon as is safely possible.

But... that method is slow, retarded, and unsafe. I would rather suggest only following the first two steps, replacing 3 with:

  • Check for any legal authorities. If none are present, accelerate so that you surpass the target vehicle(s) until you have sufficient room to return to your original lane. It is safer to pass these vehicles in the shortest time possible than to maintain the posted speed limit.

If another vehicle is passing you do you maintain your speed?

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!

How much faster should you travel than the vehicle you are passing?

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.
