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.
Hill
and Mountain Roads
Driving on steep hills
or
mountains is different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
If you drive regularly
in
steep country, or if you’re
planning to visit there, here are some
tips
that can make
your trips safer and more enjoyable. (See “Off-Road
Driving” in the Index for information about driving
off-road.)
