When encountering a large vehicle that is turning, the best approach is to refrain from passing until it has executed the turn completely. Large vehicles, such as trucks or buses, often require a larger turning radius and may swing wide, thus presenting a potential hazard to other vehicles on the road if they attempt to pass too close. By waiting until the large vehicle has finished turning, you ensure both your safety and that of the driver and any nearby pedestrians. This cautious approach helps prevent accidents that can occur from misjudging a turning vehicle's path.

In contrast, the idea of passing as quickly as possible could lead to dangerous situations, especially if the large vehicle's turn is not fully clear. Honking to alert the vehicle is generally unnecessary and could confuse the driver, potentially leading to unsafe maneuvers. Ultimately, the most prudent action is to not pass at all until the large vehicle has completed its turn, thus maintaining safe driving practices.
