Freeway Driving
Mile for mile, freeways (also cal1e.d thruways, parkways,
expressways, turnpikes or superlughways) &,e the safest
of all roads. But they have their own special rules.
1~ most-important-.advice on freeway driving is: Keep
up with dfic and keep to- the right. Rrive at the same
speed most of the other idrivers are driving. Too-fast or
too-slow driving bredcs a smooth traffic flow. Treat the
At the.eatrance, there is usually a ramp that leads .to the
freeway.
If you have a clear view of the freeway as you
:drive .along the- entrance ramp, you -should begin
to
check traffic. Try to determine where you expect to
blend with the flow. Try to merge into the- gap at close to
.the prevailing speed. Switch on your turn signal, che.ck
your mirrors and glance over
your shoulder as often as
necess-ary. Try to b1en.d smoothly with the tra€fic.. flow.
Once- you are on the fi-eeway, adjust: your speed,to the
posted lhnit-or -to the prevailing rate if it’s- slower. Stay
in the right lane unless you want to pass.
Before
changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use
your
turn signal.
Just before you leave the lane, -glance quickly over your
shoulder to
make sure there isn’t 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.
When you wmt to leave. the -freeway, move tQ the proper
lane well
in advance. If you miss your exit, .do not,
under my circumstances, stop and backup. Drive
on to
the
next exit.
The .exit
ramp can. be curved, sometimes quite sharply.

Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?
Or is
it just plain falling a~leep 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 ofthe tises.on the
mad, the drone of the-engine, and the rush-of the wind
against
the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don7 let it
happen to you ! If it does, your vehicle can leave the
road in
Z-ess .than u ~secand, and you could :crash
-and be injured.
Make sure your vehickis well ventilated, with a
comf-ortably cool interior.
0. Keep your ey.es moving. Scan the road ahead
and. to the sides. Check your mirrors and^ your
imitruments frequently.
If you :get sleepy, pull off the road, into a rest, service
or padiing area and take -a nap, get s.ome exercise, or
bo.th. Far safety, treat .drows.iness: on the highw-ay as
an emergency.
