A good driver may overtake while seamlessly passing oncoming traffic
with just two smooth flow-motion maneuvers, while a clumsy driver will
make driving straight on a deserted road look dangerous. There's a
simple rule: All considerations must be taken before commencing
the maneuver. Once you decide to do something, do it without hesitation.
For example: Overtaking with an oncoming traffic is a hard decision to
take. Once you decide on it, other drivers will be willing to slow down
or move aside to let you pass, as long as you maintain your speed and
heading. Understanding that you don't have the distance or engine power
to complete the overtaking and hitting the brakes in the opposite side
of the road would only bewilder any oncoming driver, who would be
otherwise willing to slow down or get half of their vehicle in the
shoulder of the road to let you by.
