Your

Driving and

the

Road

On two-lane highways or undivided multilane highways that

not have

controlled access, you’ll want to watch for some situations not usually found

on freeways. Examples are: stop signs and signals, shopping centers with

direct access to the highway, no passing zones and school zones, vehicles

turning left and right

off

the road, pedestrians, cyclists, parked vehicles, and

even animals.

Highway Hypnosis

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

road with the same scenery,

along with the hum

the tires on the road, the drone

the engine, and the

rush

the wind against the vehicle that can make you sleepy. Don’t let it

happen to you!

it does, your vehicle can leave the road in

less

than

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:

Make sure your vehicle is well ventilated, with a comfortably cool interior.

Keep your eyes moving. Scan the road ahead and to the sides. Check

your rearview mirrors frequently and your instruments from time to time.

This can help you avoid a fixed stare.

Wear good sunglasses in bright light. Glare can cause drowsiness. But

don’t wear sunglasses at night. They will drastically reduce your overall

vision at the very time you need all the seeing power you have.

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.

in any driving situation, keep pace with traffic and allow adequate

following distances.
