• 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 passenger side 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.

• Do not overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.

Even though the brake lamps are not ﬂashing, it may

be slowing down or starting to turn.

• If you are 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 us review what driving experts say about what

happens when the three control systems — brakes,

steering, and acceleration — do not have enough friction

where the tires meet the road to do what the driver

has asked.

In any emergency, do not give up. Keep trying to steer

and constantly seek an escape route or area of less

danger.

Skidding

In a skid, a driver can lose control of the vehicle.

Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable

care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving

those conditions. But skids are always possible.

The three types of skids correspond to your vehicle’s

three control systems. In the braking skid, your wheels

are not rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much

speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose

cornering force. And in the acceleration skid, too much

throttle causes the driving wheels to spin.

A cornering skid is best handled by easing your foot off

the accelerator pedal.
