Hitting the road? Minimise your risk of getting stranded by following these safety tips.

No matter how many precautions you take, you might break down anyway, so make sure you have an emergency road kit stacked in your boot. It should contain a flashlight, whistle, water, blankets and a first-aid kit. To be extra safe, buy a couple of energy bars in case you get stranded overnight. It’s also a very good idea to become a member of the AA so that, no matter what, you have someone to come bail you out.
