  • Break down kit – having a well-stocked breakdown kit in the trunk is another part of road trip safety. Having a few flares and tools in the back can greatly help with road trip safety.
  • Get some rest – driver fatigue has long been a leading factor in car wrecks. Getting enough sleep and stopping when tired is an important part of road trip safety.
