You may find sometime that your right wheels have
dropped
off
the edge of a road onto the shoulder while
you’re driving.

The driver

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.

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
