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. This will allow you to keep an eye on each other while driving and also enable you to nap without losing time.

4. If you do have to pull over, move your vehicle off the road.

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. Search the Web for traffic update sites and listen to radio traffic alerts.

8. Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws, which vary from state to state and especially overseas.

9. Before setting off on a long car trip, be sure your vehicle is in prime condition -- that tires are properly inflated, all fluids are at their proper levels and you have a full tank of gas.

10. Consider becoming a member of AAA or signing up for your car insurer's roadside assistance program. You won't regret it when your car breaks down on a lonely back road.
