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 114
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.
