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:
