A Crash Course in Automobile Handling

The Rules of the Road

While on the Interstate and Other Multi-lane Highways

1. Choose a speed.  Use Cruise Control or make careful note of vehicle speed to ensure other drivers are able to sufficiently predict whether to pass.
2. Pass at a speed that is no lower than the speed limit when an automobile is following.
3. Maintain at least a slightly higher speed than the initial speed of an automobile that is to be passed.
4. Maintain a constant speed when being passed.
5. Do not travel on the interstate at any speed less than 15mph below the posted speed limit.
6. Do not, for any reason, tailgate.  Provide at least two full car lengths after the vehicle ahead.
7. Upon the approach of any vehicle from behind, move to another lane if traveling in the left-most lane.
8. When a lane is available to the right and traffic in the current lane is moving faster, move to the available lane, unless the lane is a designated exit lane.
9. When planning to exit the highway at an exit ramp, move to the appropriate exit lane at least half a mile from the exit.
10. When approaching a clearly marked construction zone where lanes may end, move into the appropriate lane at the next possible opportunity.

While on Two-lane Roads

1. When driving less than the speed limit where the road lacks adequate passing zones, pull off to the shoulder to let faster moving traffic by.
2. Do not, for any reason, tailgate.  Provide at least two full car lengths after the vehicle ahead.
3. Maintain a constant speed when being passed.

This guide is by no means an adequate interpretation of the law.  It is simply a set of guidelines for improving traffic flow and preventing road rage.  Do not use these guidelines where the governing laws or statutes prohibit such behavior.
