Making a Pass: Brady, Manning, Rodgers

Making a Pass: Brady, Manning, Rodgers

You are the quarterback of your vehicle, so it might help to know when it’s acceptable to attempt a pass. When you need to pass a vehicle in front of you, either because they are traveling too slowly or because you can’t stand to look at that Jesus fish http://www.superchrist.com/ for another two seconds, first make sure you have enough room up ahead in which to perform the maneuver. Unless you absolutely have to, don’t try passing another car on a two-lane road; too many bad things can happen unnecessarily. Have patience if you can, especially when preparing to pass bicyclists, as they are more vulnerable. Haven’t we gone over bicyclists already? Pay attention.

If it is safe to do so, signal and begin to pass the car in front of you. You will need about a 10-12 second gap if traveling on a highway at around 50 mph. If moving faster than that, you should obviously allow yourself a larger gap. Insert terrible Gap jeans joke here.
