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, nwve 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.
Before Leaving
on
a
Long Trip
Make sure you're ready. Try to be
well
rested.
lf
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
Oldsmobile retailers all across North America. They'll
be ready and
willing
to help
if
you need it.
