TRAVEL TIPS

On the road Travel tips

If you plan to hit the road to near-nowhere, here are some tips you could use.

l Your destination may be far from home and your nearest departmental store, but travel light. Essentials may include the first aid kit, camera and walkman (now discman).

l Pack maps and have your itinerary down in words.

l Get your vehicle serviced and check if your road insurance has expired. If you are the “Zen and the Art of…” kind, make sure you have all the tools.

l Check the tyres, and remember, the spare is not an accessory.

l Save on fuel. Turn off that AC, and roll down the windows.

l Do not check into a seedy lodge. If you are grinning at that one, watch “Psycho”.

l A motoring magazine recommends, “Don’t be rigid about routes…wander down interesting looking roads and alleys, get lost every now and then.”

l Do not speed.
