After a long and stressful week, weekends often become the time for people to seek moments of tranquility.
For many, weekends are the best part of the week, and if it’s a long weekend, even better! With the upcoming Dussehra holiday, people have the opportunity for an extended weekend.
During such times, going on a long drive can be a unique and enjoyable experience.
A long drive has the power to refresh your mood. Whether you’re with friends, family, or prefer solitary drives, the experience of a long drive is unparalleled.
However, there are a few essential things to keep in mind before embarking on a long drive this weekend.
Don’t Forget Car Servicing
Before planning your long drive, prioritize servicing your car. Particularly, on highways, if your car faces any issues, finding a garage or workshop might be challenging.
Hence, ensure your car undergoes complete servicing, including all necessary functions, before hitting the road.
Keep a Tool Kit Handy
Even with proper servicing, unexpected problems like a flat tire can occur. Be prepared in advance. Always carry a tool kit and spare tire with you.
This preparation can save you the hassle of searching for a garage or mechanic in the middle of nowhere.
Carry All Your Documents
Before setting out on any journey, ensure all your necessary documents are with you. Always carry the originals as well as photocopies of your car’s documents.
Besides your vehicle’s papers, don’t forget your personal documents such as Aadhar card and driver’s license.
First Aid Kit
Trouble can strike unexpectedly. It’s wise to keep a small first aid kit in your car. This kit should contain basic medications for minor health issues like gas, acidity, stomach ache, and diarrhea.
Having these supplies can prove helpful in emergencies, ensuring your trip remains enjoyable.
Remember, a little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your long drive is smooth and enjoyable. Stay safe and have a great weekend!
