AXA Shares Road Trip Tips for Peace of Mind during the Holiday Season
The holiday season is a time for get-togethers, visiting loved ones and exploring new places to create cheerful memories. With foreign travel restrictions still in place, many families will be taking to the road this year for relaxing and stress-free domestic trips.
To help create that perfect holiday adventure, AXA Thailand General Insurance, offers 5 essential tips to ensure that the road trip goes smoothly and that driver and passengers are safe from the point of departure to the final destination.
1. Plan your trip in advance
Map out the route and calculate distances carefully. Check the weather conditions along your route to avoid surprises.
2. Inspect the car before departure
Run through the basic checklist - battery, tires, suspension, brake fluid level, brake system, engine oil, lighting system... Make sure you have a complete set of car tools handy.
3. Get enough rest
The driver should get at least 7-9 hours of sleep before a long-distance trip. It is best to take a 15-minute break every two hours or every 150 kms. Avoid driving for more than 8 hours in a day.
4. Strictly abide by road traffic rules and regulations
Keep seat belts securely fastened, respect the speed limit, do not use mobile phone while driving. Never drink and drive, and avoid medications that can cause drowsiness or fatigue.
5. Always have emergency phone numbers ready
In case of an unexpected event or incident, emergency numbers should be on hand for motor insurance, police, immediate family, doctor or hospital, etc.
