26.0 - Appendix

APPENDIX
The rules described in CCR section #25.4.x are intended to help drivers determine when they should attempt a pass, and who may be at fault should there be an incident.

The main purpose of the "¾ car width" rule is not to allow one driver to "squeeze" the other driver. The main purpose and intent is to alert the mind of the driver that is contemplating a pass that he/she may be "forced" to go two (2) wheels off-course to avoid a collision. Basically, this means that the overtaking driver must be certain that he/she can attempt the pass with room to spare, and must be prepared to take evasive action if necessary.

Lastly, remember that, even though you have the "right of way" it may not be smart to insist upon it. You may be involved in a collision that was not your fault, but you may end up crashing your car, sustain damage, or at the very least be punted out of the race. The other driver may get penalties, but that will not help you get your position back
