It'appeared certain h. would stàke the vébicle and its three occupants ahead of him. S Fortunkatel, adefnslvely ý -'ninded driver ini the center ,lane had increused bis foUnli distance in response to, the slipper . road conditions. Reactlng to the sound of t7le Bkdding vehicle in the passing Ian.,*the driver in the- center sélowed down and moved te the right edge' of bhis lane. Ibis left a làrgè gap wbich allowed, the at-fault vebicle to move into the center lane and take advantage of the safety cuahion establishedl by the. defensive driver. 1 - The (almost>, atrfault driver sid tf re. car Ilengtbs past the. vehicle and its three occupants in the. passng lane and only just came tàa top about two* feet behind the next vebicle in the. conter lane.
