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.
