First and foremost, ensure you have planned well for the journey you are about to take. Prior to starting the drive, ensure if you have pets or children that they are secure in their seats and having something to keep them entertained. If you are going to be driving in an unknown route, familiarise yourself with the main route you’ll be taking and set up your voice GPS so you are not constantly looking at the maps or your phone for directions. Before you start the car, make sure all the mirrors, the seat and any other variables have been adjusted to your preference.
