The thing I learned from designer Trevor Harris,   make CERTAIN that you did 
not pass from
toe-in to toe-out or the other  way around..  This can happen easily during 
hard braking if the bump-steer is not correct. If it crosses over for in to 
out, lots of times you need three lanes to make a one lane stop.
