When a road trip is concerned you need a little more than that. The following tips would be helpful to get you all geared up for your trip. firstly your car should be in it’s best condition, meaning it should have been properly serviced; the engine, the oil and brakes in shape. As a matter of fact the best time to go on a trip is after servicing your vehicle. It is also advisable to use an almost new battery ( less than 3 years old) or have a spare one in your trunk. Make sure your air-bags are intact as well. Another major car precaution is looking out for your tyres. It should have the average air pressure and if less you should refill and also check the spare ones. There’s nothing more reassuring than a good wheel especially in long distance driving.
