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, sonletimes 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 highe.r 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
GM
dealerships
all
across
North America. They'll be ready
and willing
to
help
if
you need
it.
