How to Safely Pass Another Vehicle on a Two Lane Highway
July 27th, 2010
Improper passing causes many crashes. Use extra caution when passing at night, when visibility is poor, and when the road is slippery. In locations where passing is permitted on two-lane roads with traffic moving in both directions, you may pass on the left side of vehicles ahead of you. You should not exceed the speed limit to complete a pass.
When you are preparing to pass, you must make sure there is a safe distance between your vehicle and oncoming traffic. You must also look behind you to determine whether other drivers are preparing to pass you.
When another driver is trying to pass you, stay in your own lane and do not increase speed. For further information, please contact your local Chisago County traffic attorney for any legal advice.
