Passing TechniquesEarlier, we spoke of proper following distance. This is where there is a big advantage of having been able to study the oncoming traffic flow for a while. You’ll know if there was a dip in the road up ahead with a vehicle hiding in it as you approach each other. If safe to do so, as you see the gap in traffic approaching you can start to accelerate in your own lane before you ever pull out into oncoming traffic. As the approaching vehicle goes by, you are already up to speed and now make a smooth pass by going around the vehicle in front of you. This is what the pros call a “slingshot pass.” It can be done without kicking into passing gear, using a lot of fuel or endangering yourself by reducing the time in the oncoming lane of traffic. If you are going to pass, stay back so you can see better and farther. Why does a quarterback drop back to pass? He can then see around his own players and gets the whole picture.
