Your Driving and the Road 0 WeatherForecasts: What'sthe weather outlook alongyour route? Should you delay your trip a short time to avoid a major storm system? Maps: Do youhave up-to-date maps? 0 On the Road Unless you are the only driver,it is good to share the driving task with others. Limit turns behind the wheel to about 100 miles (160 km) or two hours ata sitting. Then, either change drivers or stop for some refreshment likecoffee, tea or soft drinks and some limbering up. But do stop and move around. Eat lightly along the way. Heavier meals tend to make some people sleepy. 164 On two-lane highways or undivided multilane highways thatdo not have controlled access, you'll want to watch for some situations not usually found on freeways. Examples are: stopsigns and signals, shopping centers with direct access to the highway, no passing zones and school zones, vehicles turning left and right off the road, pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, and even animals. Highway Hypnosis Is there actually sucha condition as "highway hypnosis"? Oris it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it highway hypnosis, lackof 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. Don't 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. m . .
