2. Recommendations For Travelling By Car Travelling by car is a pleasure for the vast majority of drivers around the world. When we travel for work, business or holiday time, we use our car to travel to different places: destinations already planned, visiting friends or family. However, before embarking on road, especially on long-distance travel, we should follow a number of recommendations that will help us make our journey safely and prevent accidents. Here is a list of tips and recommendations for traveling by car: Tips for traveling by car Lighting We will check the exterior lighting of the vehicle (lights, turn signals, position lights and brake lights). We will replace any lamps that are defective. Levels We will observe in flat ground the levels of engine oil, brake fluid, windscreen wiper fluid, expansion vessel and battery. If the levels are low, we will add the corresponding product. Tyres It is also advisable to check the tyres, taking into account the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. The review will preferably be cold (i.e. the vehicle has not traveled more than two kilometres). It is highly recommended to check tire pressure at least once a month.

3. Using GPS or route guides If we use an external GPS, it is advisable to have it installed and have the route set up before starting the trip. This way you won't have to set up anything going on. Setting up the route can cause some tracking that can cause an accident. Therefore security first and foremost. If under any circumstances we would have to reconfigure the GPS, the best option is to stop as soon as possible at a service area or at a gas station. In any case with the current technology, you can use the search function of a destination through voice, as is the case of Google Maps. We simply activate the function by touching a button and indicate the site to choose. As a recommendation, it is advisable to ensure that you have entered the correct address. Sometimes it happens that the program doesn't pick it up correctly and can take us in the wrong direction. Therefore, make sure that the required address is the one chosen. In the case of using a route guide map, the best choice is to prepare the route carefully before starting the trip and if we have been a companion, it can be of great help to indicate us at certain times for departures, entrances and directions of our tour. Route Once we are ready to start the journey and start our journey by car, it is advisable to take into account: • Respecting safety limits will not only give us safety, it will also give us savings in fuel expenditure. Exceeding speed limits increases consumption by a significant percentage. • Maintain a temperature within the vehicle's cabin of 22o, both in winter and summer. It is advisable to wear clothes that make us feel comfortable and avoid very bulky garments. • Make a 15-minute stop to rest every 200 kilometers. Doing some kind of stretching and walking is extremely beneficial. • Avoid copious meals, in this way we will avoid drowsiness. • Drinking fluids during our march will help us relax. Following these recommendations for traveling by car, it will mean that we enjoy our journey in maximum safety conditions.
