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
GM
dealerships all across North America. They’ll be ready
and willing to help
if
you need it.
