Passing The driver of a vehicle about to pass another on a two-lane highway waits for justthe right moment, accelerates, moves around the vehicle ahead, then goes back into the right lane again. Passing another vehicle on a two-lane highway is a potentially dangerous move, since the passing vehicle occupies the same lane as oncoming traffic for several seconds. A miscalculation, an error in judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or anger can suddenly put the passing driver face to face with the worst of all traffic accidents -- the head-on collision. So here aresome tips for passing: "Drive ahead. " Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect your passing patterns. If you have any doubt whatsoever about making a successful pass, wait for a better time. I you can see a sign up ahead that might indicate a f turn or an intersection, delay your pass. broken A center line usually indicates it's all right pass to (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 approaching traftic. of 4-12 0 Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you're awaitingan opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you're following a larger vehicle. Also, you won'thave adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable distance. 0 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. Timeyour 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" thatmore than makes up for the distance you wouldlose by dropping back. And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass, you need only slowdown and drop back again and wait for another opportunity. But take care that someone isn't trying to pass you as you pullout 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 changesignal and move back into the right lane. The vehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from you than it really is. ) 0 Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads. Even though the brake lights are not flashing, itmay 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. 0 0 0 4-13 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.
