Have a safe T.R.I.P. this autumn
We want you to have a safe T.R.I.P. this autumn
Following this advice will help keep you and your passengers safe and avoid any unnecessary delays or costly repair bills. By planning your journey and preparing your car you can have an enjoyable and stress-free journey.
Before setting off:
- plan your journey, including rest stops
- make sure you get a good night's sleep before your trip
- avoid alcohol the day before as this can disrupt sleep and affect your driving the following day
- know what medications you're on and how they affect you
- avoid driving between midnight and 6am when you’re likely to feel most tired
