When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane anddon't get too close. Time your move so you will 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 thanmakes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back. And if something happensto cause you to cancel your pass, you need only slow downand drop back again and wait for another opportunity. If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that someone trying to pass you as you pull out topass isn't the slow vehicle. Remember to glance over your shoulder and check the blind spot. Check your mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and startyour left lane change signal before moving out of the right lane to pass. When you are farenough aheadof the passed vehicle to see its front in your inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into theright lane. (Remember thatyour right outside mirroris convex. The vehicle youjust 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 vehicletoo rapidly. Even though the brake lights are not flashing, it may be slowing downor starting to turn. If you're being passed, make it easy for thefollowing driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease alittle to the right. 0 4-16
