With the madness of Christmas closing in fast, here’s a few driving tips to stay ahead of it. Your summer pre-roadie checklist ⬇️

☔️ Check your windscreen wipers and replace them if necessary.

💦 While you’re at it, check that your washer fluid is topped up. Don’t use water – cleaning solutions that specialise in remove bugs and road grime are much more effective.

🛞 If you’re loading up with more people/gear than usual, add some more tyre pressure to counteract this. The sticker chart inside your door will help guide you on this.

🚤 If you’re towing a boat or caravan, it’s important to check the pressures on your trailer too as these will have dropped while in storage over the winter months.

🎒 Give some attention to securing any loose items in your vehicle. Luggage, pets or beach & boating equipment can become dangerous missiles in the event of a sudden stop.

😵‍💫 Your attitude and frame of mind impact your driving & decision making. While the roads are congested and frustrating, being in a hurry and taking unnecessary risks can have serious consequences for your loved ones and those around you.

🏁 Getting there a few minutes late is a whole lot better than not getting there at all.

Enjoy your holidays 🏖️ unplug from doomscrolling 📱 and stay safe 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
