Off-Road
Recovery
You
may find sometime that your right
wheels
have dropped off the edge
of
a
road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
If the
level
of the shoulder is
only
slightly below the pavement, recovery
should be fairly easy. Ease
off
the accelerator and
then,
if
there is nothing
in
the way, steer
so
that your 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.
So
here are some 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.
