Have a safe and fun filled holidays..!!!


Summer has started and so as the people also stared looking for holiday destinations. They are busy exploring the new destinations as well as the offers on the holiday packages. With the overwhelming joy, thinking on the fun holidays, most of them becomes careless about the safety measures, giving a sad end to the happy journey.

It's important to take the proper measures in planning a safe holiday trip. Checking the vehicle, using hand-free devices, and getting the proper amount of sleep are a few things which have equal importance with the places to visit and the stay.

There are a few things which one has to remember while planning a trip.

  • Sleep at least seven to nine hours the night before the trip

  • Stop every two hours and walk around

  • Be a defensive driver and watch for fatigued or drunk drivers

  • Schedule a routine maintenance check on your car before leaving (tire pressure, oil, battery, windshield wipers, etc.)

  • Pack emergency equipment including first aid kits, flashlights, water, and blankets.
