When passing another vehicle you should:

  1. Pass on the right

  2. Pass as quickly as possible

  3. Signal your intentions

  4. Not speed

The correct answer is: Signal your intentions

Signals are crucial for communication on the road and are essential for drivers to know where a vehicle is intending to go. Passing on the right (option A) is incorrect because most countries encourage and enforce driving on the right side of the road. Passing as quickly as possible (option B) is incorrect because this can be dangerous and can potentially lead to accidents. Not speeding (option D) is also incorrect because it does not show the driver's intentions to pass and can cause confusion for other drivers on the road. Therefore, the best option when passing another vehicle is to signal your intentions (option C) to communicate effectively and ensure a safe passing maneuver.
