VWhether the leadership be vested in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are ever at work. in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same. VThe reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. [. . . ] for If other cars are lined up to pass a slow vehicle, wait your turn. But take care that someone isn't tryingto pass you as you pull out to pass the slow vehicle. Check yourmirrors , glance over your shoulder, and start your left lane change signal before moving out of the right lane topass. When you are farenough ahead of the passed vehicleto see its front in your 188 inside mirror, activate your right lane change signal and move back into theright lane. The vehicle youjust passed may seem to be fartheraway from you than it really is. ) 0 Try not to pass more than onevehicle 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. 0 If you're being passed, makeit easy for the following driver to get ahead of you. Perhaps you can ease a little to the right. 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 dowhat the driver has asked. Keep trying to steer and constantly seek give an escape route or area less danger. Defensive drivers avoid most skidsby taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not "overdriving" those conditions. The three types of skids correspond to your Cadillac'sthree control systems. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. Andin the acceleration skid too much throttle causes the driving wheelsto spin. A cornering skid and an acceleration skid are best handled by easing your foot off the accelerator pedal. If your vehiclestarts toslide (as when you turn a corner on a wet, snowor ice-covered road), ease your foot off the accelerator pedal as soon as you feel the vehicle start toslide. If you start steering quickly enough, your vehicle will straighten out. As it does, straighten the front wheels. 189 Of course, tractionis reduced when water, snow, ice, gravel, or other material is on theroad. Forsafety, you'll want to slow down and adjust your driving to theseconditions. It is important toslow downon slippery surfaces because stopping distance be longer and will vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try your best to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, braking (including engine braking by or shifting to a lower gear). You may not realize the surface is slippery until your vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues -- such as enoughwater, ice 01 packed snow on the road to make a "mirrored surface" and slow down -when you have any doubt. \ Remember: Any anti-lock braking system ( A B S ) helps avoid only the braking skid.
