“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 isclear.):Never cross
a solid line on your
side
of the lane or a double solid line, even if ‘the road. seems empty of
approaching traffic.
Do not :get
too closelo the,vehicle you want.to pass while you’re
awaiting- an opportunity. For .one lthmg, 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 ahe:ad 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 1ane.and.don’t.get too dose. Time your move
so
.you wiIl.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 happensto.cause:youto cancel your pass, you need I
only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity.
-If other cars are 1ined.u~ to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But
take care that someone isn’t trying
to pass you as you:,pull outto pass
the slow vehicle. -Remember
to ‘glance over. your shoulder-and check
theblind 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 I
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 itreally is.)
