[. . . ] But they have their own special rules. Just before you leave the lane, glance quickly over your shoulder to make sure there is not another vehicle in your blind spot. Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slower at night. 4-20 When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit, do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply. Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going slower than you actually are. Here are some things you can check before a trip: · Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full?Are all windows clean inside and outside? · Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?· Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked all levels? · Lamps: Are they all working?· Tires: They are vitally important to a safe, trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for long-distance driving?Are the tires all inflated to the recommended pressure? Before Leaving on a Long Trip Make sure you are ready. If you must start when you are not fresh -- such as after a day's work -- do not plan to make too many miles that first part of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can easily drive in. If you keep it serviced and maintained, it is ready to go. If it needs service, have it done before starting out. Of course, you will find experienced and able service experts in GM dealerships all across North America. They will be ready and willing to help if you need it. · Weather Forecasts: What is the weather outlook along your route?Should you delay your trip a short time to avoid a major storm system? · Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps? 4-21 Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as highway hypnosis?Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel?Call it highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever. There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.
