Summertime is virtually synonymous with vacation. After all, what better time of the year is there to gather up your family for that highly anticipated getaway? A road trip is often a fun and economical option to reach your destination while bonding with loved ones. Our team wants you to enjoy your excursion, safely, by following these summer road trip tips!
Driving while sleepy not only puts you and your passengers in danger, it also puts the safety of other drivers in jeopardy. For that reason, it is very important to get a full night’s sleep prior to your drive. In addition to an extended rest, be sure to stop for bathroom breaks and pit stops along the way to break up the long commute
Texting and driving do not go hand in hand. If you plan to be the driver, assign tasks – such as responding to text messages – to different passengers prior to embarking on your trip.
You can never be over-prepared. Researching various aspects of your trip before getting on the road can prove quite helpful. For instance, by knowing alternate routes to your final destination in advance, you won’t have to be dependent on your GPS, ultimately saving yourself some time, money, and fuel.
Though speeding is tempting, it is also dangerous and illegal. Why partake in unsafe driving or run the risk of getting a speeding ticket during your getaway? Instead, avoid speeding and give yourself ample time to get to your journey’s end. Ultimately, enjoying the ride (or drive) is a major part of the road trip experience; don’t ruin that by speeding.
Are your tires properly inflated? Are your brakes in good condition? Have you gotten your oil changed recently? Let us answer these questions and alleviate your car woes at our Kwik Kar. Schedule a routine service appointment with us before you hit the road!
Develop good visibility habits.
Your car is a dangerous machine, so treat it with respect and common sense. Ensure that you leave nothing in the rear window which can obscure your vision. Ensure that the dash is kept clear and, above all, ensure that the car’s windows are kept clean. Make sure that there is also washing fluid available so that you can remove any dirt from the windshield.
Good visibility is a critical part of road safety, so take steps to make sure you maintain excellent visibility whenever you are on the road. Talk to us if you need further advice.
