Do not pass … Do not get killed
While driving to and from Black Rock City, do not pass vehicles while on the road. Many accidents happen as the result of attempting to pass; re-entering a line of vehicles after passing can be challenging, and often other drivers don’t see you or don’t let you back into the flow of traffic quickly enough to prevent a collision with oncoming traffic at 55-85 mph.
Fatal head-on collisions can and do happen. Large trucks including 18-wheelers use these roads and go the opposite directions from the main traffic at high speeds. The delay for patiently following the car in front of you may be only a few additional minutes. The cost of passing may be your life.
