Check vehicle levels and check the elements necessary in an emergency such as the spare wheel or emergency triangles and safety vest. Rests every two hours or 200 kilometers. Remember that at the end of journeys increases the risk for cumulative fatigue. Do not expect to travel on vacation to get the car ready.

When we are going to travel many kilometers before a trip both the DGT and the RACE advised to check the levels of the vehicle and set it up if you have not done before, but we must not take until the summer trip to check that everything is in order. Check the battery status, the system of cleaner (water with soap, brushes …), lighting, brakes (pads state) and cushions. Also checks that have reflective vest for all passengers, jack, spare wheel (pressure tested), extra set of lights, warning triangle and spare fuses. Make sure your tires are in good conditions (which are not older than three years if you want to be in the best conditions, with a depth of 4 mm, while the minimum required is 1.6 mm and having the recommended pressure). It is not good to take the low oil since, especially in summer, it is necessary to cool the various engine parts and certain parts do not work at higher temperatures than recommended by the manufacturer. Find traffic on your route and rest appropriate hours if you are making a long trip. If you can, avoid make such long trips after work. If you’re traveling with children or pets, make a forecast of what may need to not distract you when you go behind the wheel. When you place the luggage in the trunk, see that what has more weight is closer to the rear seats to have a greater grip. Then a video of how you have to go put the luggage:

Once you’ve done the above checks, when you’re running must consider several things: Never take any drugs if you are driving as they reduce the ability to react. Wear the seat belt and do not drive mobile or GPS while driving. Always keep the safety distance and circulates in the right lane except to pass. Respect speed limits, rests every two hours or 200 km to avoid fatigue, when couples do stretching exercises. Heat-seeking hydrate and travel with the air conditioning at an optimal temperature. If you are in a traffic jam, be patient. The end of the paths is when there is more danger because there is an accumulated fatigue and may be withholding entries. If you have an accident, recalls the conduct PAS (Protect, Warn and succor): Protect yourself with reflective clothing from the risks of the road, warns emergency and succor the wounded in case of extreme gravity.
