[. . . ] If you must brake on thethrough lane, and if there is traffic closebehind you, you can allow alittle extra time and flash your brake lights (in addition to your turn signal) as extra warning that you are about to slow down and exit. Reduce yourspeed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After driving any distance at for higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going slowerthan you actually are. 20 Obviously, this could lead to serious trouble on a ramp designed for 20 mph (30 lun/h) ! L Your Driving and the Road Drkjng a Long Distance Although most longtrips today are made on freeways, there are still many made on regular highways. Long-distance drivingon freeways and reguIar highways is the same in some ways. The trip has to be planned and the vehicle prepared, you drive at higher-than-city speeds, and there are longer turns behind the wheel. You'll enjoy your trip more if you and your vehicle are in good shape. Here are some tips for a successful long trip. Before Leaving on a Long Trip Make sure you're ready. Try to be well rested. If youmust start when you're not fresh-such as after a day's workdon't plan to make too many milesthat first part of the journey. Of course, you'll find experienced and able service experts in Pontiac dealerships allacross North America. Here are some thingsyou can check before a trip: Windshield Washer Fluid Is the reservoir full?Tires: They are vitally importantto a safe, trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for long-distance driving?Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps? On the Road Unless you arethe only driver, it is good to share the driving task with others. Limit turns behind the wheel to about 100 miles (160 l m ) or twohours at a sitting. Then, either change driversor stop for some refreshment like coffee, tea or softdrinks and some limbering up. On two-lane highways or undivided multilane highways that do not have controlled access, you'll want to watch for somesituations not usually found on freeways. Examples are: stop signs and signals, shopping centerswith direct accessto thehighway, no passing zones and school zones, vehicles turning left and right off the road, pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, and even animals. Highway Hypnosis Is there actually such a condition as "highway hypnosis"?There is something about an easy stretch of road with the same scenery, along with the humof the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. If it does, your vehicle can leave the road in less than a second, and you could crash and be injured. Then here are some tips: Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior. Keep your eyes moving. Check your rearview mirrors frequentlyand your instruments from time to time. They will drastically reduce your overall vision at the very time you need all the seeing power you have.
