[. . . ] Then turn your steering wheel to go straight down the roadway. If the shoulder appears to be about four inches (100 mm) or more below the pavement, this difference can cause problems. If there is not enough room to pull entirely onto theshoulder and stop, then follow the same procedures. But if the right front tirescrubs against the side of the pavement, do NOT steer more sharply. With too much steering angle, the vehicle may jump back onto the road with so much steering input that it crosses over into the oncoming traffic before you can bring it back under control. Instead, ease off again on the accelerator and steering input, straddle the pavement once more, then try again. Passing The driver of a vehicle about topass 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. 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, ora brief surrender to frustration or angercan suddenly put the passing driver face to face with the worst of all traffic accidents -- the head-on collision. 178 So here are some tips forpassing: "Drive ahead. " Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations might affect your that passing patterns. If you have any doubt whatsoever about making a successfulpass, wait for abetter time. If you can see a signup ahead that might indicate aturn or an intersection, delayyour pass. A broken center line usually indicates it's all right to pass (providing theroad 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 traffic. If you suspect that the driver of the vehicle you want to pass isn't aware of your presence, tap the horn a couple of times before passing. When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to acceleratebut stay in the right lane and don't 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 anotheropportunity. But take care that someone isn't trying to pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle. Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane change signal before moving out of the right lane topass. When you are farenough ahead of the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into the right lane. Thevehicle you just passed may seem to be farther away from you than it really is. ) Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to pass while you're awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces your area of vision, especially if you're following a larger vehicle. Also, you won't have adequate spaceif the vehicleahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable distance. 0 Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time on two-lane roads. Even though the brake lights arenot flashing, it may be slowing down or startingto turn.
