Tips for long drives

[Poops]

Load up with the gasoline na pinakahiyang sa sasakyan mo para mas safe mag overtake

how far down south are you going?

If first time mo going as far as Quezon or Bicol, ingat sa mga buses and jeeps na nagsasakay at nagbababa sa gitna ng daan. kung kaya ng budget, install a louder horn... sarap siguro magpabusina ng pba or nfl horns...

As of my last trip to Legazpi City, grabe ang daan sa may area ng Lucena and Pagbilao and the worst is Quirino Highway (from Sta. Elena, Camarines Norte to Sipocot, Cam. Sur)

Leave early to avoid much of the traffic... I leave normally at around 4 or 5 am to avoid the traffic build-up in San Pablo City... ay summer na nga pala kaya wala pumapasok sa school... hehehe

na-suggest na lahat ng driving tips ...pero eto ang isang tip na dapat talagang tandaan...

-- BRING EXTRA MONEY --

kahit naka-budget yng lakad mo, always bring an extra money. mahirap minsan maghanap ng ATMs sa mga provinces, tapos pag holy week, karamihan dyan OFFLINE.

yun lng ... hehehe

Most have covered it na ata. Bagong bili your car right? If you haven't yet, try to use your ride and test it some more, and gain confidence in it going for a long drive. If you have a chance to go on some trips in the city using your new ride, test if it has no problems (aircon, temp, electricals, tranny), maybe in some long continuous ride, around an hour or more if kaya. If there are some problems, better you find it now, than be bothered, troubled during the actual trip. Hopefully none naman, since you got a casa maintained ride.

Enjoy the drive, as much as the destination.

BTW don't tinker with your car a day before your trip. as one poster said a week before ok lang. pero yun usual BLOWBAG check you can do it on the day itself. have fun and don't forget, BE A RESPONSIBLE MOTORIST.
