Drifting

Probability = 50%

Drifting is a straight-like movement of the vehicle at a slight angle to the roadway. As the driver approaches a marker or boundary (lane marker, center line, edge of the roadway), the direction of drift might change. As shown in the illustration, the vehicle drifts across the lane marker into another lane, then the driver makes a correction and the vehicle drifts back across the lane marker. Drifting might be observed within:

• a single lane,
• across lanes,
• across the center lane,
• onto the shoulder, from lane to lane.
