Do you love to get into your car and go on road trips? This year has 16 long weekends to look forward to! Here are the top 5 things one must keep in mind before hitting the road.
It is a very important aspect to keep in mind when you are driving on highways and when you have a leverage to drive a little fast. Ensure to get a proper wheel alignment and balancing so that the wheels don’t drift away from you. This would help you to experience a smoother and more comfortable ride.
To avoid the auto engine to overheat extremely fast, you should use coolant to dispel heat. Overheating leads to the breakdown of the car that will leave you stranded or may cause an accident.
Check the horn, the windshield wipers, and all the lights in your car. You should replace the wipers or get rubber refills if they don`t clean the windshield perfectly, and have some extra light bulbs on hand, as well. Depending on the season and your location, you should also make sure that the heater and air conditioner are in good working order.
It’s very important to get the brake fluid level checked at regular intervals. If the fluid level falls down, it could possibly lead to causing brake system failure.
Maintaining tyre pressure is a vital thing for a car. Over-inflated tyres increase the chances of a blow out and will cause you major inconvenience. The tyres with the correct pressure have a longer life and increase your fuel efficiency.
