When overtaking another car you should:

Pull out to the left
Stay in the passing lane
Sound your horn
Pull around to the right and pass

The correct answer is: Pull around to the right and pass

When overtaking another car, it is important to follow proper passing procedures to ensure the safety of yourself, the other driver, and other vehicles on the road. Option A is incorrect because pulling out to the left can put you in oncoming traffic and increase the risk of a head-on collision. Option B is incorrect because staying in the passing lane can lead to a traffic jam and block other drivers from passing. Option C is incorrect because sounding your horn is not an appropriate way to indicate to the other driver that you are passing. Option D is the proper procedure as it allows you to clearly see oncoming traffic and safely pass the other car on the right side.
