1. Before beginning a long drive, always get enough sleep and eat something before you go.



2. Pull over and take breaks every couple of hours, even if you don't feel sleepy.

3. If you can, share the driving responsibilities with someone else.



4. If you do have to pull over, move your vehicle off the road. Never park on the shoulder or in the breakdown lane for any reason except an emergency.



5. Know the laws along your route concerning cell phone use while driving.



6. Never drink any alcohol before your trip. While you may not become intoxicated from one beer, you will become sleepy.



7. Keep an eye on the skies, and if you can, plan a route around inclement weather.



8. Search for traffic updates and listen to radio traffic alerts, especially when approaching major cities.



9. If you are driving a rental vehicle, familiarize yourself with the car and all of its equipment (horn, brakes, hazard lights).
