Auto Operator
Needs 10 at 60
The average time it takes to
pass another vehicle at 60 miles
per hour is 10 seconds. At that
speed, an auto operator will need
nearly one-half mile of clear road
space to pass safely, warns the
Extension farm and home safety
committee of The Pennsylvania
State University. If you are in
doubt, don’t pass, and live longer.
