Holiday Safety Travelling Tips:

  1. Brakes and Clutch: It is extremely unsafe to drive a vehicle that is uncontrollable when braking. If your brakes sound like they’re squeaking and scratchy or they’re shaking, get them changed immediately.
  2. Fluids: Make sure you check car fluids from time to time, including windshield washer fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, and oil.

  3. Battery: Check your battery, a dead battery means your car won’t start, possibly leaving you stranded in an unsafe place or situation, even worse late at night.

  4. Dashboard Warning lights: When you turn on the ignition, all warning lights should flash on momentarily. As soon as you note a warning light that stays on, get it checked immediately.

  5. Tyre and pressure tread: It’s important to always use a tyre gauge to check your tyres rather than relying on having a “look-see”. Pay special attention to the dashboard tyre-pressure warning light if present. Low tyre pressures waste fuel – rather save that money for cocktails by the pool.

  6. Lights: Test all your lights, indicators, brake lights, and fog lights one by one.
