2 lane driving
Strategies and
Rules of Road
One of the most important signs along the road.
One of the few signs that you must actually do something
rather than just being warned.
What must you do in this situation?
Lane change, it’s becoming a 2 lane road
After changing lanes, what should you check?
Is anyone passing on the right?
Some drivers seem to be unaware
that their lane is ending…
Don’t be one of them…

STOP
and
THINK
This vehicle is passing us on the right,
(their lane is ending) what should you do?
After the 4 lane road ends you will often
see this sign that indicates:___________
2 Way Traffic
How often should you check tailgaters
in your mirrors on 2 lane roads?
Every few seconds, if they start to pass, you need to know it.
When we see this sign, there is
usually a bridge ahead.
What is the meaning of this sign?
Slippery when wet
¼ mile later…the bridge. It’s about 0 Celsius and the
road surface is more than just wet, it is also icy.
After on-coming cars clear us…
- be sure there are no vehicles emerging from
a side road or driveway…then signal, check
mirrors and head check left...
- accelerate quickly and begin passing…
Proper passing procedure
Continue accelerating…after passing the vehicle, signal
and head check right before returning to the right lane
- ease off accelerator
CAUTION: As passing on
2 lane roads is potentially
dangerous, do not attempt
until you know your
vehicle’s acceleration
capability, and have good
judgment assessing the
speed of on-coming
vehicles.
Proper passing procedure
Even though it’s against the law, many
aggressive drivers will still try to pass.
Other Passing Rules
You should
never pass
on the left or
drive off the
road to the
left when a
car ahead is
signaling a
left turn.
The time saved by passing on a two lane
road is frequently not worth the risk!
NIGHT DRIVING
Night driving requires good vision and excellent
driving skills. Slow down and maintain
safe following distances.
Bright lights must be dimmed before meeting on-coming
vehicles and before passing a vehicle.

line.
If on-coming cars are blinding you with their bright lights,
where should you look to avoid the direct, bright glare?
