Your Driving and the Road So here are some tips for passing: 0 "Drive ahead." Look down the road, to the sides, and to crossroads for situations that might affect your passing patterns. If you have any doubt whatsoever about makinga successful pass, wait fora better time. 0 Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and lines.If you can see a sign up ahead that might indicate a turn or an intersection, delay your pass. A broken center line usually indicates it's all right to pass (providing the road ahead is clear). 0 Never cross a solid line on your side of the lane or a double solid line, even if the road seems empty of approaching traffic. If you suspect that thedriver of the vehicle you want to pass isn't aware of your presence, tap the horn a couple of times before passing. Do not get too close to the vehicleyou want to pass while you're awaiting an opportunity. For one thing, following too closely reduces your areaof vision, especially if you're following a larger vehicle. Also, you won't have adequate space if the vehicle ahead suddenly slows or stops. Keep back a reasonable distance. 0 0 When it looks like a chance to pass is coming up, start to accelerate but stay in the right lane and don't get too close. Time your move so you will be increasing speed as the time comesto move into the other lane. If the way is clear to pass, you will have a "running start" that more than makes up for the distance you would lose by dropping back. And if something happens to cause you to cancel your pass,you need only slow down and drop back again and wait for another opportunity. .. = 150
