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.
OFF-ROAD
RECOVERY
SLOW
DOWN
edge
of
paved
surface
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 trac 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 trafiic.
