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
if
your right outside mirror is convex, the vehicle
you
just passed may seem to be ,farther away from you
than it really is.)

Loss
of
Control
\\
Let’s review what driving experts say about what
happens when the three control systems (brakes, steering
and acceleration) don’t have enough friction where
the
tires meet the road to do what the driver has asked.
In any emergency, don’t give up. Keep trying to steer and
constantly seek
an
escape route or area
of
less danger.

Skidding
In a skid, a driver can lose control of
the
vehicle.
Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable
care suited to existing conditions, and by not “overdriving”
those conditions. But skids are always possible.
The three types of skids correspond to your vehicle’s
three control systems:
In
the braking skid, your wheels
aren’t rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too
much speed or steering
in
a curve causes tires to slip and
lose
cornering force. And
in
the acceleration skid, too
much throttle causes the driving wheels
to
spin.
A
cornering skid and an acceleration skid are best
handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal.
