Off-Road Recovery

The vehicle’s right wheels can drop off the edge of a

road onto the shoulder while 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 the vehicle straddles the edge of the

pavement. Turn the steering wheel 3 to 5 inches,

8 to 13 cm, (about one-eighth turn) until the right front

tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn the steering

wheel to go straight down the roadway.

Passing

Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be

dangerous. To reduce the risk of danger while passing:

• Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads

for situations that might affect a successful pass.

If in doubt, wait.

• Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and

lines that could indicate a turn or an intersection.

Never cross a solid or double-solid line on your side

of the lane.

• Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to

pass. Doing so can reduce your visibility.

• Wait your turn to pass a slow vehicle.

• When you are being passed, ease to the right.

Loss of Control

Let us review what driving experts say about what

happens when the three control systems — brakes,

steering, and acceleration — do not have enough

friction where the tires meet the road to do what the

driver has asked.

In any emergency, do not give up. Keep trying to steer

and constantly seek an escape route or area of less

danger.
