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. 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.
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
rearview 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,
orboth.
For safety, treat drowsiness on the
highway as an emergency.

and Mountain
Roads
Driving
on steep hills or mountains is
different from driving
in
flat or rolling
terrain.
If
you drive regularly
in
steep
:ountry,
or
if
you’re planning
to
visit
there, here are some tips that can make
your trips safer and
more enjoyable.
Keep your vehicle
in
good shape.
Check all fluid levels and also the
brakes, tires, cooling system and
transmission. These parts can
work
hard
on
mountain roads.
Know
how to go down hills. The most
important thing
to
know
is this: let
your engine
do some of the slowing
