No. If the vehicle you are passing is going at the correct speed, why should you need to overtake. When overtaking a vehicle you should ensure there is enough clear road ahead of you to pass the vehicle without over speeding. If this is not the case you should not attempt an overtaking manoeuvre.

Why do cars drift on the highway at highway speeds?

There are many factors that can cause a vehicle to drift when moving at highway speed. First off is the alignment of the vehicles tires. At slow speeds this may not be noticable to the driver, but as the vehicles speed increases, the small inperfection in the tires alignment becomes magnified, causing the vehicle to pull (drift) to one side or the other. This can also be caused by the slight variations in each individual tire's pressure as well. Second, the drift can be caused by force of and direction of the prevailing wind passing over the highway. In addition, as the vehicle increases in speed, minor inperfections in the vehicles aerodynamic shape (tailpipes, muffler, dings, dents ect) can alter the force of the wind passing both above and below the vehicle causing drift. Weight distribution in the vehicle also plays a part in this. More weight on one side will cause the vehicle to pull in that direction. This is just a few of the basic reasons.


When passing a slow moving vehicle a yellow line appears. do you stop and go back.?

When you are passing another vehicle, you encounter a solid yellow line in your lane or a solid double yellow lines in the center of the road. The vehicle law says you may not cross over the solid yellow lines. Hence I would suggest you slow down and get back in your lane.
