What to check on the car before the trip

Traveling at the peak of the highway can also be tedious and dangerous. If you find yourself in a column, do not lose your nerve, and at the first signs of fatigue, turn to rest and rest.

Both the driver and the car must be ready for the trip. A conscientious driver does not become overnight, it is worth doing. Realize that your car is not an impenetrable fortress on wheels and that you are not resistant to fatigue or injury. Observe traffic regulations and think about possible moves by other road users. Seeing someone else's mistake in time can save your life. Always fasten your seat belt and make sure passengers are also tied.

This is especially true for children who have to wear a seat belt in an adequate safety seat, depending on the age of the child. Also, insist that the rear seat belt is also attached to the seat belt. In the event of a car accident - even at city speeds - unbound passengers in the rear bench are flying uncontrollably in the cabin, causing serious injury to the driver and front passenger. Also, they can fall out of the car in an accident.

Maintain your car regularly throughout the year to keep it in good working order, and a long check is recommended before a longer trip. If you do not want to or cannot do it yourself, have it serviced. But a lot of things on the vehicle each driver should be able to control himself. This is primarily meant to control the engine oil level, to supplement the level of the windscreen washer fluid, to control the coolant, and the condition of the tires and the pressure in them. The ideal oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick. Just in case, put a spare liter of engine oil in the boot, as your car could consume more oil than usual when traveling long. Due to the sometimes turbulent weather and the sudden heavy summer showers, check the condition of the wipers.

During summer trips, the possibility of vehicle overheating should be taken into account. If overheating occurs, it is important to respond promptly. Stop the vehicle immediately and switch off the engine to cool down. Do not spray cold water on the car engine immediately after stopping, they advise at the Croatian Vehicle Center, as this could cause even more damage. However, to avoid overheating, make sure your cooling system is properly filled with a mixture of coolant and water before traveling. Check the tires. Tire pressures should be by the pressures given in the vehicle booklet or on one of the labels on the vehicle. Too little tire pressure increases their wear and fuel consumption, and too much pressure increases the risk of bursting due to the subsequent increase in pressure due to high temperatures. It is also good to check the condition of the air conditioner before the trip.

Before traveling, make sure you have the necessary safety equipment in your car. Safety equipment includes a reflective safety vest, safety triangle, spare bulbs and wheel, and a first aid box. The reversing vests must be sufficient for all occupants of the vehicle, and the triangle and first aid must be at hand when stacking things in the car, be careful not to cover the triangle and the first aid box. When you have completed these reworks, determine which route is most effective for you to reach.

Although tolling is a significant item in planning travel expenses, the freeway is in principle a safer and faster choice. Traveling at the peak of the highway can also be tedious and dangerous. If you find yourself in a column, do not lose your nerve, and at the first signs of fatigue, turn to rest and rest.
