13 tips for safe driving on vacation
Check that the car's fluid levels are optimal , as well as the air in the tires. Also check that the spare tire is in good condition and that the car comes equipped with tools.
Test the brakes early before taking the road, preferably take it to the agency for a general review.
Investigate the maximum load capacity of your vehicle. Driving with overload (both passengers and luggage) can cause an accident and you will also spend gasoline.
Adjust the mirrors and steering wheel properly , it is easier to react to any situation if you drive with both hands behind the wheel and with a correct driving position.
Focus on the road and be alert to what happens around since everyone wants to get to their destination as soon as possible.
Reduce speed when taking a curve . If by a distraction you could not lower the speed, do not brake, this can cause a rollover.
Use the seatbelt at all times and check that all those who accompany you have it on, especially the little ones and that they are in chairs. Remember that it is the main addition that can save your life in an accident.
Remember not to edge in the curves area , since the rest of the drivers run the risk of not seeing you.
Maintain an adequate distance between the vehicle in front of you. When you go at high speed, it is very important to have a distance of at least 3 seconds between cars, so you will have time to react.
Did the tire get stuck? do not slow down , just stop accelerating and try to edge. Doing this is a sure way to avoid further damage. To change the tire, look for a visible space for the rest of the drivers.
Never pass on the right , your visibility is much lower than on the left and you can find something or someone in front and cause a strong accident. You have to be sure that nobody comes from the other side.
If the asphalt line is dotted, you can pass, if it is continuous, it is not safe , it means that there is little visibility in that area.
