How To Get Your Car Road Trip Ready

Road trips can be fun, relaxing, and adventurous. They give you a break from your daily routine and let you explore new places. But as exciting as they are, things can quickly turn disastrous if your car isn’t well-prepared.

To ensure a smooth and safe journey, here are the key car essentials you must check before hitting the road:

1. Brakes – Your First Line of Safety

The braking system is the most important safety feature of your vehicle. If not serviced regularly, brakes can overheat and fail.

Signs your brakes need servicing:

• Squeaking or grinding sounds
• Spongy feel when applying brakes
• Longer stopping distance

👉 Always keep your brakes in top condition to avoid accidents on the road.

2. Tyres – Check Pressure and Wear

a) Tyre Pressure

Over or under-inflated tyres can cause serious issues during long drives. Always check your tyre pressure as recommended in your car’s manual.

Use the TPMS from RD Overseas to keep track of air levels and stay travel-ready.

b) Tyre Wear

Inspect tyre tread and ensure it’s not uneven. Poor alignment or worn-out tyres can reduce safety and fuel efficiency.

👉 A proper tyre kit is a must before long trips.

3. Fluids – Keep Levels in Check

Fluids are the lifeblood of your car. Make sure you have the right levels of:

• Engine oil
• Brake fluid
• Transmission fluid
• Power steering fluid
• Windshield washer fluid
• Anti-freeze

Low fluid levels can affect performance and damage your car during long drives.

4. Lighting – See and Be Seen

Headlights are critical for visibility and safety, especially during night driving or in bad weather.

Benefits of headlights:

• Illuminate road markings
• Help identify road signs
• Spot unexpected obstacles quickly

RD Overseas’ LED Headlights offer daylight-like brightness, a super-wide angle, and a lifespan 5x longer than conventional bulbs.
