Oh, Well I am in Japan so I drive on the correct side of the road. Were I in the states, unless I could see through the back window of the car ahead at oncoming I would't try passing.

Just like you do if your driving from the left side, look as best you can to see if its safe to pass, once clear pass. You might try and get as close to the right edge of the road to see around the right side of the car in front off you.

Downshift, if necessary, signal, and now for the fun part: "stab it."

RHD is no different that LHD, just have to adjust a bit.[Right/Left Brain thing]

werd. i've actually found myself sliding over to the far right and peeking around a car like that....then swooping over for the pass....basically, don't pass, it sucks and there is quite a bit of <----- then -----> going on.
