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 re-sted. 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
GM
dealerships
all
across North America. They'll be readv
and willing to help
if
you
need it.
Here are some things
you
can check before
a
