Highway Hypnosis

Always be alert and pay attention to your surroundings while driving.

Other driving tips include:
• Keep the vehicle well ventilated.
• Keep the interior temperature cool.
• Keep your eyes moving — scan the road ahead and to the sides.
• Check the rearview mirror and vehicle instruments often.
