By, 2018-03-15

Travelling with your family by the car is one of the most enjoyable journeys, especially during winter and summer. The family really needs to spend more time outside the doors of your home after winter; your children will be so enthusiastic for these journeys. You bear the responsibility to keep this fun and save your family and children's lives from all dangers may occur during travelling for long destinations.

In that case, you have to do some checks on your car before driving one single mile; you do not want to ruin your trip in the middle of it and you do not for sure want to not save and protect your children's lives.

Take care and be aware of all defaults in your car. Prepare a checklist for your car along with other lists.

Follow these steps to save your family's lives during travelling by car:

1. Check tires and wheels

It's very crucial to check the tires and wheels before travelling to avoid car accidents. If they are not in a good condition, your car is more likely to puncture easily. Make sure that the tires are perfect and do not forget to take with you the spire tire in all cases. Replace any tire needed to be replaced before travelling and remember to check the pressure on the tires.

2. Check electrical systems, headlights and light bulbs

You have to realize the importance of the electrical part of your car not just the mechanical. Your car will not work if you could not turn on the engine. Check the battery, the starter, the alternator and fuses. Check also headlights, taillights and crossover lights.

3. Check the timing belt

We mentioned previously the importance of the electrical and mechanical parts of your car. So, what is one of the most essential mechanical part of your car?

The timing belt is one of the important part playing a role in synchronization of the internal components of the engine. Change it if you have not replaced it for a long time.

4. Check the brakes

If it produces noises, is not efficient, and works very hard, you have to check it.

5. Windshield Cleaning System

Is Windshield Cleaning System really important? Of course yes! Windshield Cleaning System saves your lives and it's very crucial, especially if you are going to a land tour; there is a possibility to be unclear during the trip, so you have to clean it to avoid accidents.

6. Check the fuel and liquids

Fill your gas tank before travelling since you might not find gas stations on your way. But do not top off the tank.

Check the coolant oil level to avoid overheating so you do not have to stop and look for a water bottle to cool the engine.
