A maintenance check should include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing the oil<\/li>\n<li>Checking the coolant<\/li>\n<li>Check headlight, brake and signal lights<\/li>\n<li>Check tire tread and pressure<\/li>\n<li>Check brakes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Driver Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As the driver, you need to be healthy and alert. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before departing on your trip. Just as important as ample rest are the routes you\u2019ll be travelling. Map out your routes and familiarize yourself as much as possible with the roads you\u2019ll be travelling. And don\u2019t forget about the weather. Check the weather each day before you depart so that you aren\u2019t caught by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Practice safe driving on the trip. Do:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you<\/li>\n<li>Obey the traffic laws and speed limits<\/li>\n<li>Stay focused on the road and pull over if drowsy. Rest areas are a great place to stretch and get in a dozen or so jumping jacks!<\/li>\n<li>Trade off driving every few hours<\/li>\n<li>Never text and avoid using cell phones while driving<\/li>\n<li>Keep your gas tank at least a quarter full at all times, this should leave you a good 100 or so miles in the tank in case you run in to unforeseen roadblocks or detours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the points above, it\u2019s always a good idea to keep your doors locked and to stay on main roads and highways. Shortcuts on unknown roads can lead to trouble. And when stopping for any reason (restrooms, snacks, gas, etc.), never let your children go to the restroom alone. If you leave your car for even a minute, lock your doors and take your cell phone with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emergency Kits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible to know what\u2019s around the next bend\u2026 a flash flood could have washed out a road\u2026 or an 18-wheeler may have overturned.\u00a0 You may get stuck in a lengthy delay. Bottom line is to be prepared for unexpected events.\u00a0 It\u2019s always a good idea to have a first aid kit, a blanket, water, snacks and a flashlight in your vehicle. If you need prescription medication, keep an extra supply with you in the car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Breakdowns<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your vehicle does break down, move it off the road safely away from traffic.\u00a0AAA\u00a0suggests that you and your passengers remain in the car, with the doors locked and only roll down the window enough to ask for help from anyone approaching your vehicle. However, if you can\u2019t move your car off the road, you and your passengers should exit the vehicle and stand safely away from traffic. Raise the hood on your vehicle to warn other drivers that your vehicle has broken down and wait for help.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0lawyers of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
