Off-Road Recovery You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped off the edgeof a road onto the shoulder while you're driving. If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the accelerator and then, there isnothing in the way, steer if so that your vehicle straddles the edge the pavement. of You can turn the steering wheel up to 1/4 turn until the right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Thenturn your steering wheel to gostraight downthe roadway. If the shoulder appears to be about four inches (100 mm) or more below the pavement, this difference can cause problems. If there is not enough room to pull entirely onto the shoulder and stop, then follow the same procedures. But if the right front tirescrubs against the side of the pavement, do NOT steer moresharply. With too much steering angle, the vehicle may jump back onto the road with so much steering input that it crosses over into the oncoming traffic before you can bring it back under control. Instead, ease off again on the accelerator and steering input, straddle the pavement once more, then try again. 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 laneas oncoming traffic for several seconds.A miscalculation, an errorin judgment, or a brief surrender to frustration or angercan suddenly put the passing driver faceto face with the worst of all traffic accidents -- the head-on collision.
