To best maintain control of a vehicle while driving normally, hands should be placed on the outside of the steering wheel at the 2 and 10 o’clock positions. To be able to turn quickly, you need to hold the steering wheel correctly.

43. Each time you pass a car, there is:

Each time you pass another car, there is an increased chance of collision. Only pass another car when you are certain it is safe to do so.

After about three seconds.

When you can no longer see the passed vehicle over your right shoulder.
