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’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
Buick dealerships all across North America. They’ll be
ready and willing
to
help
if
you need
it.
