You have your destination punched into Google Maps, you’ve filled your petrol tank and you’ve bought a new pair of sunnies for your solo adventure. But there are so many things to check off your list before hitting the road. Here’s what you need to do to have all of your bases covered to ensure that your journey is a safe one:
EMERGENCY ROADSIDE KIT
While every car should have one, more than a few of us are guilty of not having this kit in our boot. Be sure to pack one that includes jumper cables, the tools you’ll need should you get a flat tyre and need to change it, as well as a tow rope. This includes a jack and lug wrench. Also ensure that you have a reflective triangle that you can place on the side of oncoming traffic. If you don’t know how to actually change a tyre, we suggest that you take a crash course before heading on your journey.
KEEP A SPARE
On the topic of tyres, be sure that you have one that is in a good condition. Check all of your tyres, including the spare, before you hit the road.
