Road trips can be a great way to get out of the city and see the world, but they also come with their own set of risks.
Here are some tips from Big Two Toyota in Chandler, AZ for making sure your next road trip is as safe as possible:
- Make sure you have all the necessary car maintenance done before you leave, including checking tire pressure and fluid levels. You should also check your emergency kit, like the jumper cables, flares, etc.
- Always bring a fully charged phone charger with you on any trip that will take more than an hour or two. You never know when you might need it. It's always good to have a backup battery in case of emergencies.
- If there's room in your trunk or backseat, bring along an extra pillow or blanket for each passenger. You never know when someone might need one.
- Carry some snacks along. This may help reduce the stops you have to make to buy snacks.
