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?
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. Do not let it happen to you! If it does,
your vehicle can leave the road in less than a
second, and you could crash and be injured.
What can you do about highway hypnosis?
First, be aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
•
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with
a comfortably cool interior.
•
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead
and to the sides. Check your mirrors and your
instruments frequently.
•
If you get sleepy, pull off the road into a rest,
service, or parking area and take a nap, get
some exercise, or both. For safety, treat
drowsiness on the highway as an emergency.
