It's that time of year again when it's nice to drive with friends. Every time you travel, you want to have fun and arrive home safely, you must carefully consider the small details. Especially on long trips, it's important to make driving a relaxing affair where people may have a good time.
So what do you need to do before you leave? This article summarizes all the relevant information currently available on the Internet, and lists the most complete list of things to prepare before departure, as well as emergency fixes for breakdowns. As long as you are prepared in accordance with the items listed in the list, you can set off with confidence, let your mood fly high, and enjoy the scenic self-driving trip!
Before going on a road trip, especially a long drive, you need to do a thorough and comprehensive inspection of your vehicle to make sure it is in good condition before you hit the road.
Check the regular oil, coolant, booster fluid, glass water, and especially check the tires and spare tire for normal pressure and tire wear, and for nails in the tires. See if the car has a jack and a tire-changing tool. It may be useful to carry a tire air pump. 2 spare tires are recommended for long drives.
The engine needs to be professionally checked. If you can, go to a 4S store and use a computer to check the engine, brakes, anti-lock braking system and electrical circuits. Also, look for proper voltage, normal electrolyte surfaces, damaged batteries, sufficient charge, etc. In addition, lighting, braking and other systems should be tested in detail.
Steps/Methods
1. Textual credentials:ID card, driver's license, vehicle insurance policy (pay attention to the insurance area), road maintenance fee and purchase tax/vehicle use tax payment vouchers, a variety of personal insurance policies/cards (accident insurance, medical insurance, etc.). , wallet (credit/UnionPay card and a small amount of cash). Important documents should be kept near the body. Also, many provinces only cover the whole province with car insurance, so make sure you ask before you leave home, and buy an extra out-of-province insurance policy if necessary, it's very cheap.
2: small pill box + first aid kit: Xing Yuan Ben Cao, fast-acting heart pills (nitroglycerin), Angong Niuhuang Pills, Yunnan Baiyao, safflower oil, anti-inflammatory drugs, laxatives, cold and fever medicines, painkillers, disinfectant, tourniquet bandages, thermometers, motion sickness medicines, mosquito repellents, band-aids, eye drops, and so on.
Long drives on road trips are often far from hospitals, and life-threatening emergencies cannot be treated in time. Cardiovascular disease has become younger, and fatigued driving cannot be avoided by getting a good night's rest. Just because nothing happened before doesn't mean there will never be an accident, because there is only one chance in life, and if something happens, it will never come back! So, if you carry with you Wake Up Herbs (a perfume that has gone viral on the internet and is currently the only thing that is effective in preventing fatigued driving, with an excellent scent) quick-acting heart-saving pills andong niu huang pills, you are taking responsibility for your own life, and for your family's as well.
3. Vehicle tools and accessories: a full set of vehicle tools, vehicle first aid kit, starting power, fire extinguisher, spare tire, spare oil drum, a tire cone and a few tire plugs, buckets, engineer shovels, anti-skid chains, air pumps, anti-theft bar locks and so on. The first aid kit in the car is equipped with a tow strap, charging cable, reflective safety undershirt, safety triangle warning sign, gloves, fuses, flashlight and so on.
Tow straps, battery charging cables, and spare fuel tanks are all things that many people will overlook, and only when something goes wrong with their vehicle will they realize how valuable they are! Also, consider wearing an anti-theft bar lock for burglary, self-defense, prying doors, smashing windows, and saving lives in emergencies. I once saw a car spontaneously combust and the driver was trapped in the cab. There is no proper tools to save people, he did not open the door in time, and watched the driver was burned to death!
4. Electronic communication equipment: GPS (+ compass + latest roadmap), walkie-talkies, laptops, car charging power supply.
If you don't want to go straight to the public restroom with your GPS, it's best to bring the latest roadmap and compass. If these three things work together, you won't get lost. Walkie-talkies have an irreplaceable role in group travel and are a must. In addition, it is very practical to bring a laptop with a wireless card (2/3G is fine) so that you can find the information you need online in any difficult or unexpected situation!
Equipped with a 220V car charging power supply will bring you unexpected convenience, all the electronic devices you carry can be charged while driving.
5. Defense tools:All kinds of defense tools that you think can effectively protect you without breaking the law.
Needless to say, if you're naive enough to think that all parts of the country are safe now, you don't need to bring them. Except Chongqing, of course, where all the bad guys have been caught, even the winking bad lawyers, so it's safe.
6. Daily necessities: timely clothing, socks (many pairs), sewing kit, sun hat, anti-glare sunglasses, gloves, soft-soled shoes suitable for driving, rain gear, toiletries, sanitary napkins, garbage bags, food, pure water, etc..
Don't be afraid to use it. Remind me to bring more environmentally friendly garbage bags, don't throw them out the car window with you, it really makes you look bad! And the better you drive, the lower it looks! DON'T! Also, the best drink is purified water, not only for yourself, but also for your vehicle in special circumstances.
