Adequacy of minimum passing sight distances for completing or aborting the passing maneuver
Overtaking and passing maneuvers on two-lane rural roads is still one of the most complex situations drivers are faced with in everyday driving. In passing, drivers must judge the speed, acceleration and deceleration capabilities of their own vehicle, that of the impeding vehicle and the speed and …
