From Toldos Guardamar we want to share with you some tips to increase safety at the wheel during the long weekend of December and you can avoid any accident by going more safely on the road.
It is important to go out on the road after having rested correctly, which will avoid fatigue and drowsiness, something that usually occurs when you have not rested enough, increasing the risk of accident.
Checking the car is another of the most important points that must be taken into account. Therefore, a few days before leaving, you have to take the car to the workshop for a full review. Engine, brake condition, suspensions, tires (depth of drawing, condition and pressure), check the status of the lights of the car, change the wiper blades, check the status of the spare wheel, check tools to repair breakdowns, etc. .
Do not forget to check the levels of liquids such as oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, water or windshield washer fluid. Also, if you are going to make a trip to the snow, it is important to bring snow chains so you can drive more safely.
It is recommended to check the status of the roads to avoid incidents or accidents due to bad weather and plan the trip correctly. On the road you have to have all your senses in place, keep your safety distance and, above all, stop every two hours to be able to rest and relieve the tension generated by driving.
Hydration is very important, but not only for the driver but also for the rest of the occupants, especially children. To make the trip more bearable, you can always program games or songs and even put a DVD screen to keep them entertained on the trip.
