Don't trip on a road trip!

It does not matter if a road trip is planned or impromptu. What matters is carrying the essential items and giving the insignificant ones a miss...



• Make sure you have a correct, easy-to-understand road maps, which well define your itinerary. Or, make sure that one of the people you're going with is well aware of the way. And if by any chance you've hit the road without any of these two provisions in place, make sure you have a friend to guide you over the phone.
n Ensure that you visit the gas station before you get started and fill your fuel tank. It's safer that way. You never know... what if the fuel station on the way is shut or out of petrol!
n It's recommended that you clean your car or bikes before the trip. While this is only possible and applicable if you have planned the trip well in advance, getting your vehicle serviced before a long continuous ride can save you not only much possible engine troubles, but also money.
n Carry water bottles and some snacks in case you or your companions require them on the way.
n Do pack in a change of clothes, innerwears, towels and an extra pair of chappals, shoes or floaters.
n Do not miss out on your toiletries and toilet paper.
n Carry sun glasses, sunscreen, sleeping bag and a first-aid kit.
n Carry good music. Nothing can be as cool as listening to some awesome songs while driving.
n Keep your phone charged. Also carry an extra battery and your phone charger.
n It's essential to pack light. Hence, very importantly, avoid carrying stuff which you know is just unnecessary burden and can be done away with.
