R.S.I.’s Safety Tips for Safe Holiday Trips
- Before every journey, thoroughly check that your vehicle meets all safety standards (tire pressure, fluid levels, clutch, brakes etc.).
- Make sure you carry all necessary in-vehicle emergency equipment (fire extinguisher, warning triangle, first aid kit, reflective vest, flashlight), stored in a location with easy access.
- Place heavy luggage and large objects in the car trunk, preferably leaning against the rear seat’s back side and secure with rope.
- Make sure there are no loose objects in the car’s cabin as there is danger of passengers’ injury.
- Have a good rest and/or a full night’s sleep before you begin your journey. Tired or not, make regular stops every two hours at Rest Areas or parking spots to restore strength and concentration.
- Do not consume any alcohol before or while driving. Also, in case you are on medication which may affect driving, avoid the task altogether.
- Keep necessary safety distances, respect priority regulations, drive defensively and behave politely -at all times.
- Always drive at the appropriate speed, according to external conditions and in respect with the Highway Code.
- Remain calm and focused on the road. Turn-off any source of distraction (cell-phone use, loud music, intense discussions etc.) that may lead to a car accident.
