3. Keep the windshield clean and clear of bugs and debris. Some parts of the country are prone to insects and bugs, which can hinder visibility as they start to gather on your window. Keep your windshield clean by utilizing windshield cleaning supplies as you stop at gas stations.
4. Monitor the weather. When driving long distance, you will discover that there are often multiple routes and highways to get to the same location. Make sure you consider what the weather forecast will be as you decide which highways and roads you want to take.
5. Avoid sudden movements to stop yourself from hitting a small animal. Granted, this sounds cruel, but when driving long distances, it is important to realize that your reaction time is not what it usually is. The same goes for other drivers on the same, interstate highways. It can be dangerous to swerve to avoid a small animal when driver’s reactions are delayed.
6. Monitor city routes. When driving long distances, try to keep away from downtown city routes and use the highway loops that are offered in many cities to help you avoid these areas.
