Be sure to stop every two hours or 100 miles and take a break. Heavy meals can make you drowsy, so eat light snacks along the way and wait until your are finished driving for the day before eating a full meal. Drive utility vehicles with great care. Jeeps and other four-wheel drive and off road vehicles need to be driven with special care. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, they are 2-3 times more likely than passenger cars to roll over, especially when making a sharp turn or sudden stop.
Speed limits vary.
If you are on a road with a posted speed limit of sixty-five miles per hour and the weather is wet and foggy, you must slow down. The top speed you should be driving under those poor conditions may be twenty-five or thirty miles per hour. If you cause an accident because you are driving faster than that, even though the posted speed limit is sixty-five miles per hour, you may find yourself in trouble with the law. Check the rear view mirror if you have to stop suddenly. If someone slams into the rear end of your car at high speed, the accident may be their fault, but the injuries will be all yours.
