It's a simple thing that many drivers are probably unaware of, but it could save a lot of hassle
Drivers are being given a piece of advice before the busy August bank holiday weekend. Travel experts are warning drivers to plan their journeys and take extra precautions when travelling over the weekend, including enabling traffic report alerts.
“Public transport may be reduced on bank holidays, causing more people to rely on their cars for travel. Therefore, it is important for those planning to drive over the long weekend to prepare and try to avoid getting caught up in congestion.” Checking these updates hours before can help you prevent delays when you are planning to travel, as you can choose an alternate route. If that route does take longer, you have given yourself enough time to leave earlier and try arriving at your desired time.
For those using a mobile phone for navigation, ensure your device has an active internet connection to receive real-time traffic updates. For voice alerts, make sure your volume is turned up and the app has the necessary permissions to send notifications. Ensure your vehicle is well-maintained Ensure you perform a maintenance check of your car, including tyres, and oil and fluid levels. If you encounter a problem with your vehicle during your journey, not only is this potentially dangerous, but waiting for breakdown recovery can prolong your journey time.Pack emergency essential items If you do experience delays on the road, it is important to bring essential items.
