Safety tips for highway driving

Highway driving involves traveling at a higher speed than when on surface roads. These safety tips can help you travel safely and inform your behavior if you experience a mishap when traveling on the highway. 

  • Maintain a safe speed – while maintaining the speed limit, remember that the left lane should only be used when passing another car. If there are adverse road conditions, or there is disruptive weather, adjust your speed accordingly.
  • Be aware of your surroundings – this means maintaining a safe distance between yourself and the car in front of you. Be sure to use your lights at dusk and during inclement weather. It’s good practice to turn your lights on when your wipers are in use. 
  • Carry an auto policy that includes roadside assistance – the most important thing to remember if you have an accident, mishap, or your car breaks down on the highway, is to move to safety as soon as possible. Contact your roadside assistance provider and wait in a safe area until they arrive.

It’s also a good idea to review your policy before a trip.
