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.

QUARTER
TURN
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.
L
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 traffic 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 traffk.
