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