Safe holiday driving
Article Abstract:
Holiday driving can be stressful and dangerous due to the number of people on the roads. Preparation helps make the experience more pleasant. The car should be tuned up before embarking on a holiday trip so that it used less fuel and is less likely to break down. The battery, oil level, radiator, brakes, tires, wires and hoses, and lights should all be double checked. Also, drivers can prepare themselves by getting plenty of rest and planning to share the driving when possible. Tips on towing a caravan or boat trailer are included.
