The vacations
are arriving shortly and a few tips for road trips does not seems a good idea.
Be it end of weekend or vacation
time there is nothing better than packing your stuff, hitting the freeways, and
taking a leap away from the hectic traffic stricken daily life. But driving
much away from your place of living may or may not be a very good idea always.
But if you can keep a few car driving tips in mind while taking any such out of
the way path, you can probably save yourself from lots of unwanted trouble.
Here a few important points that you must keep in mind before you kick off for
any new path.
Pace up
On longer journeys try and
maintain a constant speed that is neither too high nor too low. Cover that
distance that is manageable at constant speed without wearing yourself and your
car. Remember, it is not the last day you have to drive next day again. SO
manage the speed, distance, and time in a way that is economic to you in terms
of money, fuel, your potential, and energy. Longer journeys are for fun not for
getting over exhausted and missing all the fun of the way.
Get Your Car Up-to-Date
As you prepare for your journey,
prepare your car too for the same. A week before you start get your car
serviced completely, see all aspects of it are well maintained and in good
condition. As for a day or two before you start, make a checklist and check
weather all factors related to your car are in perfect condition or not. Get
your tyres inflated, along with the spare tyre, with optimum pressure, check
the engine, coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer, and all other fluids
before you start your journey.
Pack Well
Make sure you have packed all
required things for yourself and your car as well. Always take care to carry
ample amount of water, energy drinks, chocolates, and first aid kit for
yourself. And as for your car carry some other handy things like flash light,
jack, spare wheel, car’s tool kit, spare wheel, duct tape, etc.
Well Planned Trips Always Pay Off Well
It’s a good habit to plan at
least some part of destinations, routes, and sources prior starting.
Adventurous trips are good but only when they are executed well and you have
plenty of resources to manage yourself and other things with you in middle of
somewhere and nowhere. Always keep a map with you, and considering a present
scenario, if you are very fond of unplanned journeys and trips get a GPS
navigation fitted in your car so that in every and all situation you are never
lost.
Halt Whenever and Wherever You Need to
It is very exhausting and
stressful to drive for hours at a constant speed. Take short halts to distress
your muscles and take as short walk around whenever you stop to get your
muscles relaxed. There are restrooms provided adjoining to all fuel stations
and dhabas that are found along freeways and regular ways. They are a good
place to freshen up and have some snacks and tea break in the way.
