Overtaking. How to overtake.

Overtaking is always dangerous, especially if it involves moving into the oncoming traffic. But from it can not escape, it is a natural tactic. And your job as a driver and make it more secure. The less time it takes to pass, so it's safer. Always make sure that you are ready to overtake the car behaves as normal and that you have overtaken a driver - is adequate. Approaching the car being overtaken, for 100 meters to take him to the left and to evaluate three velocity - his, and the oncoming car being overtaken. If you are worried about oncoming cars, go to your number, dropping the speed and leaving 70-100 meters before being overtaken. When oncoming cars approached the car running in front of you, but they have not yet crossed, and you see that the next counter you have no danger - begin the maneuver. If you are going to the fourth speed, enable the third transfer, if the fifth - fourth, and hit the gas pedal to set the rate. Once the counter flies past, moves to the left (maneuver starts), again make sure the path is clear, and overtake. Since your rate will already be much more speed to overtake, so overtaking will take only 3-4 seconds, and so will be many times safer than the previous one. Maneuver ends by returning to his lane and reduce speed. Approaching a passing car, to assess the reliability of stowage in his body: Do not tear out your windshield in a sheet of plywood, not vysypetsya whether on a hummock of the body with gravel, not stuck between a twin rear tanks of the truck piece of brick, which, flying, can penetrate your car through and through, like a projectile. We also recommend that prior to the maneuver being overtaken lights blinked to indicate their intentions. Normal driver of course will not discourage you. During overtaking corner of your eye follow the front wheels being overtaken - even the smallest steering movement can be seen in this way: it is at this point may start to go round hole, a stone or a puddle. Dummies and novice drivers usually make overtaking as follows: for 100 meters before being overtaken go to the oncoming and start to increase speed, overtake and return to their lane. This dangerous overtaking, since it is much longer - before they go to the oncoming lane. The driver of high class, if it is to overtake, take a little rights, including emergency lights, to show that he sees overtaking, and even reset the speed to overtake occurred faster. If you see that you overtake dangerously, turn left flashers, but still keep as much as possible to the right - smart driver understands this signal and will act carefully. You do not favor him, and himself in the first place - because in case of difficulties with overtaking, with high probability, nerve-wracking and even the crash and touches you. And even more so, the driver (if one can call such a nerd), which increases its speed when it overtake - not just an idiot, he's actually been the killer. Before long trips, especially during the warmer months, do not be lazy to check the tire pressure - hot air and asphalt, speed and overtaking maneuvers may lead to the fact that the tire pressure reaches a critical point, and your tire just exploded during this overtaking if it's front wheel, the consequences could be very sad. Do not overtake on the closed, especially the right, bends, where visibility is limited. Do not overtake in front of closed descents. Your life can be and gain no more than 2-3 minutes, but the lives of people in the oncoming car, which can hide behind a "broken", "hump" of the road, these minutes just is not worth it. In an extreme case, if the overtaking has begun, it can be completed, if shallow descent and can not hide the counter-passenger car with the roof completely. To estimate the depth of the descent can be closed on telegraph poles, but did not completely trust this method: it requires a lot of experience. Beware of the highway, especially in wet weather, muddy tracks entered it with dirt roads, trucks and tractors. Usually it is clay. One sharp move the wheel, one kachok brake pedal, and your machine will go into a skid, it twists and throws, or under the wheels of the counter, or by being overtaken by you. Upon entering the speed in a puddle in the sand, especially on one side, hold the steering wheel tightly, it can wrest from the hands and better rate reset. Cautiously crosses the speed of longitudinal projections or long asphalt vyscherbiny on it, do it gradually and under the smallest angle: it is because of them died couple Kharlamov, a famous hockey player and his wife. Please be careful, attentive and courteous on the road. Remember, not only about themselves and walking economy.
