Off-Road Recovery

You may ﬁnd that your right wheels have dropped

off the edge of a road onto the shoulder while you

are 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 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 the steering wheel to go

straight down the roadway.

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.
