In every foray we have into the automotive industry, we come across all kinds of situations, cars and innovations that you couldn’t even think of. As complex as this industry can be, we want to address a problem that every driver has had at least once in their life.
And we’ll start with a simple question. Are you sure that your car is ready for the long journeys you are about to make? Find out from us what are the stages through which you can ensure the safety, but also the entertainment of a long car journey.
Technical perfection
It is clear as day that you cannot venture out on a journey of several hundred or even thousands of kilometers without a fully checked, functional and safe car. If you haven’t done these checks before, or taken your car to an authorized service center, here’s a list of things to check off before a long drive:
- Engine oil
- Antifreeze
- Brake fluid
- Windshield fluid
- Go get a check for the freon level in the air conditioning system
- Lights
- Tire pressure
- An authorized workshop will also check the engine, battery, suspension, brakes and steering.
Entertainment and Activities
Even if you are the driver on the trip you are about to take, if you will be traveling with friends, you must maintain a pleasant atmosphere. And because you’re the boss in your car, we’ve got some tips that could help you keep the atmosphere lively for many hours on the road.
Obviously, these activities must also fit in with the other passengers. Some of them may already be used to long drives and will use Slots Calendar Ro for organizing and planning your favorite games on your mobile phone or tablet. Since the games are free, you can join and create a contest where you take turns playing, and the winner is the passenger with the highest score after a set time.
And speaking of games, the more sociable among them will enjoy a long session of “Pheasant“, “What fits in a suitcase” or even punishing the first passenger who falls asleep.
It wouldn’t hurt to ask everyone for a playlist of their favorite music to have the right titles for each passenger.
Set the Route and Stops
Everyone is happy when there are enough breaks for refreshment, toilet or relaxation in a journey of many hours. As a driver, you need to know your route in advance, know where you will make stops, but more importantly, where you will refuel.
Maps and GPS applications are advanced enough to provide you with functions to add destinations, stops, but also to configure the optimal route. A comfortable trip is one that you have already planned.
An additional check you can do is to follow the weather so that you are not surprised by rain, snow or sudden changes in temperature.
Other Important Aspects
- Snacks and water or soft drinks are mandatory, especially for winter trips where you risk getting snowed in.
- Pay attention to the GPS applications because they also help you identify the traffic jams you will encounter on the route.
- Get a good night’s sleep the night before your trip. A minimum of 7 hours is required, especially for the driver.
Now you are definitely ready for a long journey and we are sure that you will reach your destination unscathed. Farewell!
