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.

aware that

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

emergency.

in any driving situation, keep pace with traffic and

allow adequate following distances.
