Just before you leave
the
lane,
glance quickly over
your
shoulder to make
sure there
isn’t
anothcr 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
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.

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