Long Distance Driving Preparation

I use this "Long Distance Driving" term for some trip with your lovely car for over than 300 kilometers or some trip which take more than a days to accomplish. This situation happen most for someone who enjoy for watching over beautiful nature scene while driving. Long distance driving can be very full of risk if you don't prepare it well. Okay here they are some basic things to prepare before you go for long distance driving :

Check the Condition of Your Car
Do some routine check for your engine and brake. Also don’t be hesitant to check other things such as tires, windshield and lamp. If you think there’s something wrong with your car and you can’t handle it, just bring your car to the mechanic. Do some check of the engine oil, brake fluid and water radiator. If you think your car is too dirty, maybe you need to wash it too. For me personally, I don't want to look so dirty in my trip.

Make List for Important Things to Bring
Make sure you have carried some basic emergency things in your car before you start your Long Distance Driving such as First Aid Kit, Tool Set, and Communication Tool. It will be safer for you to bring some crucial spare part and fuel for your car. You might consider for bringing some food and drinking just in case you feel thirsty or hungry. Just Remember if anything can happen in Long Distance Driving. So you better be prepared well. Just bring whatever you might need as long as your car doesn’t carry excess weight.

Plan Your Trip Route Well
Prepare your map for your Long Distance Driving. Look at your map and try to make some route to your destination. Prepare more than one route because things don’t exactly run as we planned. After you decide two or more of your trip route, don’t forget to plan where you want to rest and refueling. It will be better if you have a GPS device which can help you the information about rest area, food court and fuel depot. If you do have a GPS device, just try to track your trip and don't forget to mark some important place. It can be very useful in the future.

Money, Documents and Licenses
Just don’t forget to bring some money. You don’t want to stuck in the middle of nowhere without money, do you? Also don’t forget to bring your important license and document such as driving license, vehicle license and especially your ID Card. It would be better if you used to prepare a note to write some little thing which usually miss.

If you think there still some other things useful, you can add it to the list. Thins useful things can be some personal medicine, some children equipments or anything else that can be very useful in your trip. For a Very Long Distance Driving, It would be better if you bring a person who can replace you to drive especially if you feel tired or sleepy. Last but not least...Always drive safe, Obey the traffic sign, Be responsible...and Don’t Speeding. Have a Nice Long Distance Driving...Cheers.
