A road trip can be a great excuse to see more of the world, whether you have a set destination in mind or are just wandering and enjoying the scenery. If you plan to take your car on a long road trip, then planning is essential, and there are a number of things you should check before you go. Here are some of the most important checks you need to make.

  1. Your suspension

Road trips often take you through rural areas, where you’ll be dealing with bumpy roads, so you should visit a 4WD specialist in Perth, Australia to get your suspension checked and repaired or upgraded if needed. This will ensure that even on rough roads, you get a smooth ride.

  1. Your tyres

From your tyre pressures to your tread, there are many reasons why your tyres need to be in good working order:

  • They help with braking so could help prevent an accident
  • If tyres aren’t checked regularly, they may wear unevenly, which means you have to change them more often
  • In extreme weather, tyres can wear more easily, so they need to be checked more often in heatwaves and icy conditions
  • Good tyres will help you get better control over your car

Make sure you check them before you set off, as well as at regular points on your trip.

  1. Your brakes

In an emergency situation, it’s important that your brakes work well, so practice some emergency stops on empty roads before you set off. If they are slow or unresponsive, then get them fixed before you go.

  1. Lights

Your car’s lights have many functions, including:

  • Lighting your way
  • Ensuring other vehicles can see you on the road
  • Showing others where you are going via your indicators
  • Showing others when you are reversing

This means it’s essential to check these things before you go. Simply park your car and turn on the hazards, then walk around and check that each bulb is working. Bulbs are usually cheap and easy to replace, so don’t put it off before you go.

  1. Fluid levels

From your brake fluid to screen wash and oil, pop your bonnet and check the levels of your various fluids. Don’t wait for a warning light to come on, which will mean you have to rush to the nearest garage. Running low on fluids is bad for your car, so top up before you hit the road.

  1. Your insurance and breakdown cover

Don’t wait until you’re at the scene of an accident or broken down by the side of a rural road, to check whether you have adequate insurance or breakdown cover. If you do a lot of road trips, be sure to include them in your annual mileage when you get an insurance quote, ensuring that you are covered if something happens. Check your breakdown cover has 24-hour call outs, and that they’ll come to remote locations, otherwise you may find yourself with a hefty bill for towing.

Road trips are a lot of fun, but make sure you and your car are well prepared for a long journey.
