Moreover, doing a simple safety check on your vehicle before you leave plays a big part in arriving safely at your destination.

Start by inspecting your vehicle’s headlights and turn signals. Make sure that both front and rear headlamps are working properly and visible enough a couple of yards away. 

Also, take a reading of your tire pressure and make sure you maintain the recommended maximum. While at it, take a peek under your vehicle and ensure there are no loose objects or leaks.

Most importantly, stay focused while on the road. Remove all distractions that could cause accidents such as mobile phone use, unstrapped toddlers, etc.
