Summer Travel Checklist

Are you planning a summer road trip? Here are some tips for a worry-free travel that gets you exactly where you want to be safely and back again.

Before setting out schedule a preventative maintenance check up with a SOGGDA members repair facility or your local mechanic.

During your trip, take frequent breaks to stop and rest or stay overnight if extremely fatigues. If possible share the driving with a traveling companion.

Always make sure everyone in the car is safely buckled up.
