Summer is coming and if you haven't started planning your road trip we have some suggestions to help you. The safest possible road trip starts at home before you even leave the driveway. Taking these road trip safety tips to heart will go a long way in getting you to that destination in a timely manner.
Start by making sure you have a bag packed for an emergency kit. You will want to include some tools you might need to make repairs. These include a hammer, screwdrivers, wrenches, and a socket set along with a roll of duct tape. it could be useful for patching holes in a radiator hose or to make some minor repairs.
Keep a gallon of engine coolant in the trunk in case the vehicle does overheat on the drive is also very smart. You will also want to bring a big flashlight with plenty of new batteries in case you are broken down at night and need to flag down help. Bottled water, an extra blanket and a first aid kit are also things you must bring.
