Planning to have a safe road trip is all about the preparation before you leave the house. The following road trip safety tips could help you deal with minor issues before they become major emergencies.
1. Inspect your spare tire, so you don't wind up needing it and discover it is flat on a deserted road.
2. Pack a small box with a hammer, screwdrivers, wrenches, wire cutter, socket set, and vise-grips.
3. A roll of duct tape is useful for patching leaking hoses or making minor repairs.
4. Inspect the wiper blades and replace if they are worn down.
5. Take along a gallon of coolant in case your car overheats.
6. Bring road flares and pack them in the truck in case your car gets disabled.
7. Carry a gas can in the trunk.
