Once you are moving on the freeway, make
certain you allow a reasonable following distance.

Expect to move slightly slower at night.

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. Drive on to the next exit.

The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite
sharply. The exit speed is usually posted. 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.

Before Leaving on a Long Trip

Make sure you are ready. Try to be well rested. 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.

Is your vehicle ready for a long trip? 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.

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? Are the lenses

clean?

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?

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?
