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.)

Don’t overtake a slowly moving vehicle too rapidly.
Even though the brake lights are

If you’re being passed, make

easy for the

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 Buick’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.
A
cornering skid and an acceleration skid are best
handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal.
