English term or phrase: come onto a straight-away
原文:I take a quick glance in the mirrors each time I come onto a straight-away of any decent length.

背景:关于赛车驾驶技术的内容,介绍如何在赛车比赛时看后视镜。后半句没有看明白。是说:每次经过较长距离的直道后就看一眼后视镜吗。straight-away 是指的直道吗?
向各位同仁请教。

每次开到一段较长的直路上
Explanation:
"Come onto" means get on. My understanding is that because as a driver, he doesn't need to put all of his focus on the road ahead due to the straight lane, he has an opportunity to see his situation related to others during the race.
