OFF-ROAD
RECOVERY
You
mav
find sometime that your
right
wheels have dropped
off
the edge
of
a
rmd
onto the shoulder
while
you’re
driving.
If
the level
of
the shoulder is
only
slightly below the pave.ment, recovery
should
be
fairly easy.
Ease
off
the
accelerator and then,
if
there is nothing
in
the way, steer
so
that vour vehicle straddles the edge
of
the pavement.
You
can turn the steering wheel up to
1/4
turn
until
the right
front
tire
contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to go straight
down the roadway.
PASSING
The driver
of
a
vehicle about
to
pass
another
on
a
two-lane highway waits
for
just
the
right
moment,
accelerates,
moves
around the vehicle
ahead,
then
goes
back
into
the right
lane
again.
A
simple
maneuver?
Not necessarily! 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.
