NHTSA Reminds Labor Day Travelers to Follow Passing Rules

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reminding motorists to use caution while traveling during the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Drivers should use the left lane primarily for passing and move to the right when they are not passing, when it is safe to do so.

NHTSA advises drivers to pass on the left whenever possible because passing on the right can make it more difficult for other motorists to see and anticipate their vehicle.

Before changing lanes, drivers should check their mirrors, use their turn signal and look over their shoulder for vehicles in their blind spot. Motorists are also urged to remain alert and patient as holiday traffic increases.
