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.
a-
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 one-quarter 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.
Watch for traffk
signs,
pavement markings and lines.
If
you can see a sign up ahead that might indicate a
turn
or
an
intersection, delay your pass.
A
broken
center line usually indicates it’s
all
right to pass
(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 of approaching traf%lc.
