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