It's one thing to get your car in good condition for that vacation trip. It's equally important to make sure you are in good condition both physically and men- tally — for those long hours behind the wheel. The following are suggestions on making sure your trip will be a safe one as well as a pleasant one: • If you are tired, stop driving. Pace yourself; apply common sense. • Eat lightly to avoid sluggishness. • Don't rely on drugs or pills to prevent drowsiness. Keep something handy to chew. Light snacks help keep you alert. • If you are driving alone, talk, sing, whistle or play the radio. This also keeps you alert. • Never drive more than three hours without stop- ping for a stretch or a cup of coffee. • Avoid driving at a constant speed. By varying your rate of travel slightly, you can help combat "highway hypnosis." • Keep at least one window or vent open for a steady flow of fresh air. FOR THE ROAD • Rely of reflectorized road markings for visual clues. Use thoulder lines to keep "to the right" of road- way, specially on two-way roads. • Keep glancing across the road surface between center and shoulder lines to keep eyes alert and func- tioning properly. Don't focus your vision on a single light or line ahead. This tires eyes. • Drive slower at night to compensate for darkness.

Harry Porter, Jr., NSC traf- fic safety director, pointed• out that "the best estimates indicate at least 8,000 to 10,000 lives a year would be saved if every car occupant wore his safety belts, every time he got into a car." "Beyond question," Porter said, "the full use even of the old fashioned lap belts would have a massive effect in sav- ing lives and preventing in- juries. And now that com- bination lap-and-shoulder belts are required on all cars sold in America, even greater protection is available." Motorists who choose to sit on or beside their safety belts, instead of within them, in most cases are "relying on imitation excuses — not gen- uine reasons — to rationalize their behavior. Clear think- ing will show that there are- n't any real reasons." Simple Steps Can Help Prevent Theft of Car While waiting for a special theft protection device to be installed on your new car or "old faithful," there are sev- eral things that can be done to prevent having your car stolen. Keep your car doors locked at all times. Never keep valuables in- side your car. Keep only necessary items in your trunk. Another simple way to de- ter car theft is to keep your car parked under a light at night, if possible.
