Driving a Long
Distance
Although most long trips today are made
on freeways, there are still many made on
regular highways.
Long-distance driving on freeways and
regular highways is the same
in
some
ways. The trip has to be planned and the
vehicle prepared, you drive at
higher-than-city speeds, and there are
longer turns behind the wheel. You'll
enjoy your trip more if you and your
vehicle are in good shape. Here are some
:ips for a successful long trip.
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
Chevrolet dealerships all across North
America. They'll be ready and willing to
help if you need it.
