Here are some things you can check before a trip:

• Windshield Washer Fluid: Is the reservoir full?

Are all windows clean inside and outside?

• Wiper Blades: Are they in good shape?

• Fuel, Engine Oil, Other Fluids: Have you checked

all levels?

• Lamps: Are they all working? Are the lenses clean?

• Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,

trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for

long-distance driving? Are the tires all inﬂated to the

recommended pressure?

• Weather Forecasts: What is the weather outlook

along your route? Should you delay your trip a

short time to avoid a major storm system?

• Maps: Do you have up-to-date maps?

Highway Hypnosis

Is there actually such a condition as highway hypnosis?

Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it

highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever.

There is something about an easy stretch of road with

the same scenery, along with the hum of the tires on the

road, the drone of the engine, and the rush of the

wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy.

Do not let it happen to you! If it does, your vehicle can

leave the road in less than a second, and you could

crash and be injured.

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.
