Natal is synonymous with moments of party, harmony, animation and joy, but it can also be a challenging time. Wanting to have last-minute clothes or trips to visit family, or the number of cars on the road increases, or requiring extra care of the steering wheel to guarantee road safety.
Follow the safety tips of Help Flash, for this birth season
1º Prepare your trips in advance
Preparation for regular trips during this time of year, which coincides with winter and, many times, with adverse weather conditions, must begin before leaving home. Observe the weather conditions, study the route (have several applications, such as Waze, that you can use to anticipate the most congested points) and establish realistic travel times. It is not clear that the increase in travel on the road can increase considerably over the planned duration. It's better to be safe than... be late.
2º Ensure your visibility
If you leave the car on the street, you know that there is a high probability of problems such as clogged windows or ice build-up on the windshield. Leave home prepared with a very useful solution: Combine 1/3 of water with 2/3 of ethyl alcohol with a small sprayer and erase affected areas to speed up defrosting and removal.
Attention, never use hot water or thermal shock may break the glass!
Not interior, the best solution is to go through a conditioned environment, which projects with a reduced theory of humidity.
3rd Stay alert and wake up
With longer trips and, many times, you miss “faustosa” repairs, or tiredness and reduced attention levels could be due to many accidents. It is better to rest a little before or during the relocation. There are studies that indicate that a fatigued motorist can have reaction times similar to those of a driver with excessive alcohol...
4º Opt for defensive driving
Some of these techniques include being even more attentive to what is around you, paying attention to the behavior of other road users and avoiding, whenever possible, sudden maneuvers. Maintain a safe distance of four seconds in relation to other drivers and adapt the speed to the ground conditions. It is not clear that water and, above all, or ice, can double the immobilization distances of a car or a motorcycle.
5º Prepare your presents carefully
When we travel for family celebrations, we all dress up in our native country and carry the car with dozens of clothes. Pay attention to loose objects in the cabin and name that, during emergency work, these can be transformed into authentic projects. For safety reasons, choose to transport all objects in your baggage and utensils for daily use or that you want to keep with you (such as Help Flash) must be properly stored in their own locations for this purpose (portal bags, glass holders, etc...). To accommodate cargo in bad areas, do so so as not to impair visibility to the rear.
6º Have Help Flash always at my disposal
Given the time of year we are in, with fewer hours of natural light and the occurrence of atmospheric phenomena such as snow and strong rain, getting to see and be seen must be two priorities. Always put on your Help Flash before leaving the road to put on the necessary tailgate and signal triangle.
