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 space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or

stops. Keep back a reasonable distance.

When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to

accelerate but 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 another opportunity.

If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait

your turn. But take care that someone isn’t trying to

pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle.

Remember to glance over your shoulder and check

the blind spot.

Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder and

start your left lane change signal before moving out

of the right lane to pass. When you are far enough

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. (Remember that

your right outside mirror is convex. The vehicle you

just passed may seem to be farther away from you

than it really is.)

Try not to pass more than one vehicle at a time

on two

-lane roads. Reconsider before passing the

next vehicle.

Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.

Even though the brake lamps are not flashing, it may

be slowing down or starting to turn.

If you’re being passed, make it easy for the

following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you

can ease a little to the right.
