You can only travel within the posted speed limits and the overtaking procedure must be attempted only if you believe it can be done safely.

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.


While traveling uphill, why should you be able to drive 10 mph faster than the car you're passing?

No, actually, you shouldn't be passing on an uphill, at all.


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!


While traveling uphill why should you be able to drive 10 mph faster than the car you're passing?

This is to avoid staying in the left lane any longer than is necessary and safe


When passing another vehicle on the highway you may?

No. If the vehicle you are passing is going at the correct speed, why should you need to overtake. When overtaking a vehicle you should ensure there is enough clear road ahead of you to pass the vehicle without over speeding. If this is not the case you should not attempt an overtaking manoeuvre.

When another vehicle is passing you, safe practicesuggests that you: * Back off on your accelerator so as to slightly slow down allowing the passing vehicle to complete the pass as easily, quickly, and therefore safely, as possible. * Concentrate on keeping your vehicle steadily within in your lane of travel, without any weaving, which could panic the passing driver. possibly resulting in a collision. * For maximum safety for you, the passing vehicle, and others, you should do everything to make the pass as easy as possible.


When passing another vehicle on the road you should not honk when you are passing?

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.
