Highway Hypnosis
Is there actually such
a
condition as “highway hypnosis”? Or is it just plain
falling asleep at the wheel? Call
it
highway
hypnosis, lack
of
awareness,
or
whatever.
There is something about
an
easy stretch of road with the same scenery,
along with the hum
of the tires on the road, the drone of the engine, and
the
rush of the wind against
the
vehicle
that
can make you sleepy. Don’t let
it
happen to you!
If
it
does, your vehicle can leave the road
in
less
than
a
second,
and you could crash and be injured.
What
can
you do about highway hypnosis? First, be aware that it can happen.
Then here are some tips:
0
Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated,
with
a
comfortably cool
interior.
0
Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check
your mirrors and your instruments frequently.
If
you
get sleepy,
pull
off
the
road
into
a
rest, service, or parking area
and take a nap, get some exercise, or both. For safety, treat drowsiness
on the highway
as
an emergency.
Hill
and
Mountain
Roads
Driving on steep hills or mountains is different from driving
in
flat or
rolling terrain.
If you drive regularly
in
steep country,
or
if
you’re planning to visit there,
here are some tips
that
can make your trips safer and more enjoyable. (See
“Off-Road Driving”
in
the Index
for
information about driving off-road.)
