4. Make a Weather Check and Prepare for the Worst-Case Scenario Weather can be unpredictable, especially on long journeys. Stay ahead of the curve by checking weather forecasts for your route. If rain is in the forecast, ensure your windshield wipers are in good condition and consider applying a water repellent solution to enhance visibility.
5. Take Stopovers and Breaks in Between Long stretches of driving can lead to fatigue. Combat this by taking regular breaks to stretch, hydrate, and rest. A refreshed mind leads to better focus and, consequently, increased confidence behind the wheel.
