subject: Have a Wonderful and Safe Summer Road Trip [print this page] It is that time of the year when people start making plans for their trips, picnics, summer vacations, family gatherings. Planning the trip would save the person a lot of confusion or uncertainty. This means knowing which roads to use; which are the safest and the stops that one can make especially if traveling with children. This could mean stops like museums so as to make the trip more exciting and fun. There are precautions you should take to keep the vehicle and your driving companions safe all through the trip. First thing to do is to check the vehicle oil, tire pressure, water and very carefully before starting the trip. It is also important to check them all through every stop that one makes. This prevents someone from having problems on the road. Every trip needs to be stocked up with plenty of drinking water especially if the trip is a long distance one. It is better to end up with more water than one thought they needed than to need water and not have it. It is always better to travel with someone or a companion if at all possible someone one knows well and trusts. But at the same time it is not wise to travel with more people than the seat belts one has in the car. This is to ensure the safety of all the people in the vehicle. The event of being a victim of crime is less when one travels with a companion. It also helps one keep alert when there is a source of chit chat. It is also very vital to be cautious about picking up hitchhikers. This stretches to assisting people who are stranded. No one needs experience to teach them if only they hid warning. If a situation is crucial it is better to call the police, they should be able to handle the situation. So one keeps safe and at the same time helps the stranded person. One should be as keen as possible when driving and keep cool. Most accidents occur on highways when people are speeding. Other people are likely to be unruly and might cut one off the road so it is good to keep ones cool. Avoid trouble that would mess with the trip. Getting enough rest is a good pointer so that one is always alert while driving. In addition to that ensure the A/C is working well since it is the summer and it is bound to be very hot. A fully charged cell phone comes in handy at any time. At the same time you should make sure that you are signed up with a towing company that is a roads assistance company. Anything can happen and it usually happens to the best of us when we are not expecting it. If for some reason one has a break down the things that matter are a good cell phone and towing company. Lastly, one should travel with an emergency kit. It is always important to have a personalized emergency kit.
