Question:
accelerate and pass the the car on my blind spot then change lane or release the gas pedal let him pass first and then change lane?
Answers:
Why are you not supposed to get back in your car when pumping gas?
I would suggest letting off the accelerator, let the other vehicle pass and when enough room and visibility to overtake and pass that car, do so then. If you were to speed up and change lanes, the other car might think that you were trying to race, cut them off or who knows what else... possibly resulting in them retaliating with road rage. and causing an accident or at least ruining your commute.What causes traffic congestion?.......please?
Just turn right toward him, he'll move..maybe.My first speeding ticket in a construction zone?
No, seriously. Let him pass, and then move over. If you try to speed up just to get past him, the last thig you need is someone veering into you from the other lane or an on ramp while your not paying attention to that side of the car.
If my car get reposed. Whats the worst that could happen?
back off let him pass first and then change lanes if not in a hurry because there are some people that will get so mad that they will try to run you off the roadWhy is the passenger seat of a car more commonly known as the "shotgun"?
Always assume that he can see you even if you can't see him, because he is looking forward (presumably). Therefore, let up on the accelerator and let him pass, then change lanes, after ensuring there's nothing else in your blind spot.Plane vs car safety question.?
You should take a defensive driving course, period..
Why do the signs posted on roadways list SPEED limits instead of VELOCITY limits?
It is pretty hard to answer without knowing your speed and the speed of the other car. If he is slowly overtaking, then you slow down. If you are travelling at the same speed, it really depends on how soon you really have to be in the other land. Just don't speed up, pull in front, then slow down to a speed slower than he is travelling.Is there a special campaign for survivors of accidents?
do an Alabama lane change, put on the turn signal, count to three and make the lane changeDoes anyone drive or know someone who drives a fire truck or ambulance?
Or do as they do in Atlanta, just make the land change without checking the mirrors, trusting your fellow drivers to be courteous.
Anyone know if a front turn signal HAS to be amber in arkansas?
That is a judgment call.It all depends on a lot of variables like traffic volume,traffic speed,road,and weather conditions,etc.IF there is ample merging room ahead of the car to your right,and IF you can do so safely without cutting him off,or diving in ahead of him and slamming on the brakes,I would proceed ahead of him merging in with the right turn signal on to let him know your intention.Otherwise signal a right lane change and merge in behind him.Always try to be courteous to other drivers,and make sure you signal your lane changes,then thank them with a wave when they let you merge.How does an anti lock braking system work??
This depends entirely on what the situation is, and what you're going to do next.Is it against the law to drive with bare feet/only wearing thongs?
Here are a few theoretical scenarios:
1. You're maintaining a speed of 65mph on a freeway/highway, and you want to move over for a car that's coming up fast behind you. Just before you move over, you see that there's a car in your blind spot, and he's going the same speed as you.
What city has the most car accidents?
In this scenario, speed up and pull in front of the driver in your blind spot. If you were to slow down (necessary, because the guy in your blind spot is going the same speed) the person coming up on you quickly will suddenly find himself coming up even MORE quickly, because you've suddenly slowed down. They'll take evasive action to go around you, but you'll change lanes just as they do, and you'll have an accident.

2. You're maintaining a speed of 65mph on a freeway/highway, and you want to move over for a car that's coming up fast behind you. Just before you move over, you see that there's a car in your blind spot, and he's going noticably FASTER than you.
I have an s reg fiet punto and it chugs?
In this case, hang out for a few more seconds until he's passed you, but put your turn signal on in the meantime; that way, the faster car coming up will know you're going to move over, and can plan accordingly.
What causes the most accidents on the roads speed ,slow drivers or women drivers?
3. You're maintaining a speed of 65mph on a freeway/highway, and you realize you're about to miss your exit -- but there's a guy in your blind spot! Now what?
Lift off the gas, but don't hit the brake, because you're about to go shooting across lanes of traffic if you try to hit the exit -- and hitting the brakes plus changing lanes equals spin. Plus, drivers in other lanes won't be expecting it; if you tried to change lanes in front of the other car, other cars wouldn't see you until you crossed in front of him, and so they'd have less warning of your intentions.
There was a accdent with a semi truck it fell 90 feet off of a overpass?
If you can get clear of the other car in time to make your exit (you've just slowed down somewhat, so odds are better than if you'd sped up) then take the exit. If you can't, DON'T -- just drive on to the next one, and tsk tsk yourself for being inattentive.
Of course, there are lots of other scenarios, and all of them are valid. The general rule of thumb is: pick a solution that is predictable, safe and leaves you room to change your mind.
Tractor trailer drivers . how should i go about getting set up on a residential street?
Having said all that, your best option of all is to check your blind spot regularly; that way, odds are you'll catch people pacing you (ie going the same speed as you) in your blind spot BEFORE you need to change lanes, and can adjust your speed accordingly. There will still be people coming into your blind spot, of course, but you'll either be passing them (in which case "speed up" makes sense) or they'll be passing you (in which case "slow down" or "hold your speed" makes sense.)

By the way, don't forget that this is a two-way street: if you find yourself driving in someone else's blind spot, GET OUT OF THERE. It's very easy to stay out of blind spots.
Why are so many drivers so awkward at a four-way stop?
And, if someone keeps adjusting their speed to stay in your blind spot (some drivers pace adjacent cars because they're foolish and reckless, and think there's nothing wrong with it), slow down a lot so that they have to hit the brakes to pace you -- chances are they won't -- then resume your speed further back. Just make sure there's nobody behind you when you do this.
"Besides driving, name an activity people often do in their cars?
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'VE LEARNT AN IMPORTANT LESSON AND USE YOUR MIRRORS/OBSERVATION MORE FREQUENTLY NEXT TIME SO YOU CAN GET INTO LANE EARLIER>>>>>>the OBSERVATION/INFORMATION PHASE should be continually updated...On a highway, vehicles do NOT suddenly arrive in your blind spot, poor observation is the cause; remove the cause. If poor anticipation of the actions of other road users is the cause; remove the cause.
hold your course and wait for the right opprtunity
