• When it looks like a chance to pass is coming

up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane

and do not 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 vehicles are lined up to pass a slow

vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that

someone is not 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 vehicle’s 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 vehicle’s inside

mirror, activate the right lane change signal and

move back into the right lane. Remember that

your vehicle’s 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.
