Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Journey
1. Before you hit the road, have your vehicle inspected. A basic inspection is not very expensive and will cover the brakes, tires, suspension, lights, cooling system, and other basic drive train components.
2. Make sure your tire pressure before you leave on a road trip. Most tires require between 30-32psi.
3. Pack an emergency kit with you. A good emergency kit should include a flashlight, a first aid kit, jumper cables, gloves, rope, and tire inflator.
4. Always bring extra water. Although you may be traveling on major roads, a flat tire or breakdown can occur miles from the nearest exit.
5. If you've never changed a flat tire, perhaps you should try it in the comfort of your own driveway a few days before you head out on your trip.
6. While on the road, try to take a 15 minute break every 2 hours.
7. Pack plenty of entertainment for children. Travel toys and games can help pass the time.
8. Whenever you travel make sure that everyone has proper identification and required documentation.
9. A road trip can be a fun experience. Follow these tips to make sure it's a safe and enjoyable journey.
