Summer is here, and it's time for that long awaited road trip you've been planning with the family.

Before you hit the road, it's important to make sure that your car is in good shape so you don't start your vacation on the side of the road.

Make sure that you do the following before driving, especially if you're traveling long distance:

  • Check the battery
  • Fill the fluids
  • Inspect the tires
  • Check the air conditioning
  • Pack an emergency kit

Once you've checked your car, you're ready to hit the road! Here's a couple of things to keep in mind to stay safe while driving:

  • Wear your seat belt
  • Use GPS navigation
  • Use caution in work zones
  • Observe speed limits
  • Watch your vehicle's weight
