Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and
lines.
If you can
see
a
sign
up
ahead
that
might indicate
a
turn
or
an
intersection, delay
your
pass. A broken center line usually indicates it’s all right to pass
(providing the road ahead is clear). Never cross a solid line on your
side of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of
approaching traffic.
Do
not get too close
to
the vehicle
you
want to pass while you’re
awaiting
an
opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces
your area
of
vision, especially
if
you’re following a larger vehicle.
Also, you won’t have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly
slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.
When it looks like
a
chance to pass
is
coming up, start to accelerate but
stay in the right
lane
and don’t get too close. Time your move
so
you
will be increasing speed
as
the time
comes
to move into
the
other lane.
If
the way
is
clear to pass, you will have a “running start” that more
than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back. And
if something happens to cause
you
to
cancel your pass, you need only
slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
If
other cars are lined up to
pass
a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying
to
pass
you
as
you
pull out to pass
the slow vehicle. Remember
to
glance over your shoulder and check
the blind spot.
Check your mirrors
,
glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane
change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When
you
are
far enough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside
mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the
right lane. (Remember that
if
your right outside mirror is convex, the
vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from
you
than it
really is.)
Try not
to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads.
Reconsider before passing the next vehicle.
Don’t overtake a slowly moving
vehicle
too rapidly. Even though
the
brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing down or starting to turn.
If you’re being passed, make it easy for the following driver to get
ahead
of
you. Perhaps
you
can ease
a
little to the right.
Loss
of
Control
Let’s review what driving experts say about what happens when the three
control systems (brakes, steering and acceleration) don’t have enough
friction where the tires meet
the
road to
do
what the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek
an
escape route or area
of
less danger.
