Summer Driving Tips
 Get a vehicle check-up
Summer driving conditions are often hot and stressful on equipment. So, maintaining the mechanical systems of your car or light truck now can mean peace of mind during summer road trips. Preventive maintenance is definitely the key.
Before heading out on a long vacation drive, be sure your vehicle is ready for it. Have your vehicle's major systems inspected to avoid nasty surprises on the road. Among the major items to have checked are:
Cooling System
Air Conditioning
Tires, Steering and Suspension
Battery
Brakes
Engine Drive Belts
Lights
Exhaust System
Managing stress is important
At this time of year, you can bet you won't be the only one on the road. So be sure to leave plenty of time to get to your destination. Don't wait until the last second to head out, and plan your travel time realistically. Check local traffic conditions, weather and current road work as carefully as possible.
Carry emergency gear
Winter isn't the only time to carry emergency gear. A breakdown can occur at any time, and it's best to be prepared.
In summer, along with the usual emergency kit items of a blanket, flashlight, rags, a red cloth or flag, reflective warning signs, you also should have bottled water, extra coolant and oil.
Don't drive if you're drowsy. Take regular breaks every couple of hours if you need them; the kids may need breaks too. Share the driving, if possible, with someone new at the wheel every three hours, according to safety experts.
Adhere to safe driving practices
Don't drink and drive. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is wearing a safety belt. Keep children age 12 and under in the back seat, away from frontal airbags that may cause injury or death to little ones.
