5steps to Stress-free Driving

Yes, you can enjoy going on road trips all summer long with these tips. 1. Make sure the car is up to the trip, it seems obvious, but do give your car a good check over before you go. Do you have enough fuel and do you know where you’ll be able to fill up? When did you last check the oil and water levels? 2. Know where you’re going; take a few minutes to plan the journey. Your destination may have a website with a location map you can print out and take along with you. 3. Don’t run late; always leave plenty of time for your journey and plan rest stops if your destination is more than two hours’ drive away. 4. be streetwise, controlling your speed and using the gears wisely helps fuel go further. 5. Keep your children occupied, if money’s no object, fit a DVD system in the front seat headrest.
