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, 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, 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.
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
Oldsmobile retail facilities all across North America,
They’ll be ready and willing
to
help
if
you need it.
