Highways
1. Speeds on highways are higher than
those on regular roads, so there is
more danger. Also, a breakdown
on a highway represents a hazard
to other vehicles and can cause
an accident. Concentrate on safe
driving. Remember to perform daily
pre-operation inspections and use
highway driving techniques.
When performing daily pre-operation
inspections, perform the checks
shown in the table on the left with
particularly great care.
Daily Check (Preoperational Checks)
2. When merging with traffic on a
highway, use the turn signal to
indicate your intentions ahead of time.
Speed up sufficiently when you are in
the acceleration lane. Pay attention to
vehicles behind you and to conditions
in the lane you are joining. Merge in
such a way that you do not obstruct
vehicles in the lane.
3. Your sense of how fast you are
traveling becomes distorted on long
highway drives. Constantly keep an
eye on the speedometer, and maintain
a suitable headway distance.
