Road Trips



Road trips  are probably at a minimum this year but as the holidays approach here are several tips:

  • Posting your travel plans on social media may increase your chances of getting your house broken into.
  • It is always good to check the weather along your travel route before  your departure.
  • If your are stopping overnight find a well lite parking spot, remove items from inside your vehicle or lock any items in your trunk.
  • If you are traveling a scenic route—make sure you have  enough fuel since their may not be  a fuel station for miles.
  • Make sure your vehicle is ready for the roadway, check tire pressure and wear and check all fluids.
  • Be prepared for unexpected situations.
  • Pack a flashlight, jumper cables, warm blankets, and a first aid kit.
  • It is always good to charge all your mobile devices before traveling and bring charging cables.
  • With navigation and map apps on mobile devices are great but you can never go wrong with paper maps to find  alternate routes.
  • Be a defensive driver.
  • Make a visible check list of the items above plus your own must have items and save them on your computer for future trips.
