may  tend  to  think  you  are  going  slower  than  you  actually  are.\
  For  example, 
40 mph (65 km/h)  might  seem  like  only 20 mph (30 km/h).  Obviously,  this 
could  lead  to  serious  trouble  on  a  ramp  designed  for 
20 mph (30 km/h)! 
Driving a Long  Distance 
Although  most  long  trips  today  are  made  on  freeways,  there  are\
  still  many 
made  on  regular  highways. 
Long-distance  driving  on  freeways  and  regular  highways  is  the  s\
ame  in some 
ways.  The  trip  has  to  be  planned  and  the  vehicle  prepared,  yo\
u  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 you  must  start  when  you’re 
not  fresh-such  as  after  a  day’s  work-don’t 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’s  ready  to  go. 
If it  needs  service,  have  it  done  before  starting  out.  Of 
course,  you’ll  find  experienced  and  able  service  experts  in  \
your  vehicle’s 
dealerships  all  across  North  America.  They’ll  be  ready  and  w\
illing  to  help 
if

need  it.

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? 
Lights:  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  inflat\
ed  to  the 
recommended  pressure? 
Weather  Forecasts:  What’s  the  weather  outlook  along  your  rout\
e?  Should  you  delay  your  trip 
a short  time  to  avoid  a  major  storm  system? 
Maps: 
Do you  have  up-to-date  maps?
