Summer Travel

Summer travel of course means vacation and vacation means travel. Make sure everything is in working condition for your travels. Also, be sure to be a smart and responsible driver.

• Plan, map and estimate the duration of your driving ahead of time and let others know your plans.
• Check the tires, including the spare – proper inflation and good tread can save money, time and lives.
• inspect the engine, battery, hoses, belts and fluids for wear and proper levels.  Check the A/C.
• Do a “once around” – test all the lights, wipers and clean the windows.
• Prepare an Emergency Roadside Kit, including jumper cables, a flashlight and plenty of bottled water.
• Don’t program your mobile GPS while you are driving.  Either have a passenger do it or stop in a safe place.
• Share the driving with other passengers to avoid fatigue.http://www.consumerautopartsonline.com/
