1. Papers
- Avoid police hassles - carry in the car, attested photocopies of your Registration Certificate, Insurance & Pollution papers. Carry originals in luggage/ on person.
- Don't trust local mechanics - carry a Contact list of Service stations for your car.
- Check Tyre pressure for sure before your head out on cold tyres - tyre pressure affects braking, ride-comfort & even mileage.
- Heading to the hills? Reduce pressure by 2 points before you climb. Firstly you will get better control as the footprint will increase + as you climb remember the outside pressure will reduce, so your tyres will bloat as it is.
- Check all lights especially the brake lights are functioning properly. Carry a spare head-lamp.
- Check water in the battery and fill to proper levels.
- Ensure that Wind-shield washer fluid, engine oil, brake oil and radiator coolant levels are all optimal.
- It's always good to carry a Jump-start cable and a Tow rope in the car, if not for yourself, then to help someone who's stranded.
- Carry chewing gum - research proves that it is the most effective way of staying awake and alert as you drive.
- Drinking water is an essential - 2 bottles in the car & a container in the dickey
- Carry simple fruits, not only are they healthy, the sugar keeps everyone perked up. We're sure you'll stop on the way for meals!
- For the hills if anyone is Mountain sick nothing works better than chewing on raw Ginger and smelling lemon.
- Indian roads - best time to head out is early morning at 5 am. Less traffic, good driving and a wonderful way to start the day.
