Rule 1:<\/strong> \nStart off on a good foot or will that be a good tyre?  Before you spread your wings and leave home\nbase, check your car\u2019s tyre pressure. \nThis can easily make or break a trip. \nIt is also a good habit to form to check the overall conditions of your\ntyres on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 2:<\/strong> \nKeep hydrated,  especially during summertime.  Know where you are off to, the route and the\ndriving times to your destination.   Go\nprepared.  You never know when you get\nbogged down along the route and what your waiting period will amount to.   Keep in mind that tap water is not a given\nto be safe anymore in South Africa.  No matter\nwhere we go, we always carry about 2 liters of water in our vehicle \u2026 and if\nyou do not use it on the trip, hand it out to someone that is in need of water\nin the drought-stricken areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 3:<\/strong> \nCharge up.  Before leaving home-base\nmake sure that all your gadgets are fully charged.  There is nothing more frustrating when you\nget let down in the middle of nowhere without the necessary power.  Also make sure that you have all the\ndifferent cables to all the different gadgets to recharge enroute.  This can also be your lifeline to call\nsomeone when you are stranded somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 4:<\/strong> \nFor your own safety and comfort check in regularly to a chosen person,\nespecially if you  know that you are\ngoing to an area where there is no cell phone reception.  Yes, there are still remote areas in South\nAfrica where you can go without cell phone reception.  This is a great comfort to those left behind\nto know that you are still safe and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rule 5:<\/strong> \nCalculate your distance and make sure about fuel supply enroute as well\nas at your destination.  Know your\nvehicle\u2019s fuel consumption ratios.  Do\nnot be left stranded, because of a dry fuel pump or a miscalculation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
