Obey the rules of the road and carry your driver’s license with you.
Plan the route to your holiday destination and allow yourself enough time to reach the destination
Make sure that your vehicle is in a roadworthy condition before departure. All lights and indicators, windscreens, windscreen wipers, brakes, steering, shock absorbers, exhaust system and tyres should be carefully examined for faults.
Do not overload.
Try to avoid driving after dark if possible.
Have a good rest before you embark on your journey
Take safety breaks every 2 hours or 200km. Rest, have an energy drink and continue once well-rested.
Do not drink and drive
Try to recognise potentially dangerous drivers on and pedestrians alongside the road and keep well clear of them
Be visible - drive with your lights on
Headlights should be dipped well before an approaching vehicle is within the range of the main beam.
Always wear your seat belt and see that everyone in the car is wearing theirs.
