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 lights 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.
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 Cadillac’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.
