Tips for a successful trip :
Summer is finally here, and with it the excitement of vacation. But before you hit the road, a little preparation goes a long way to avoid unpleasant surprises. Here are a few essential tips to make sure your car is ready for adventure.
Know the regulations
First and foremost, make sure you know about the regulations in force in the countries you plan to cross or visit. You can find this crucial information on the website of the Automobile Club du Luxembourg (ACL).
Safety kit
- Safety vest and emergency triangle: Mandatory in many countries.
- Fire extinguisher: Although not mandatory, recommended.
- First-aid kit: Be prepared for any eventuality.
Checking documents
- Insurance certificate (green card): Check that your insurance is valid in your destination countries.
- Certificate of registration: Keep it handy.
- Certificate of conformity: Indispensable proof that your vehicle is in order.
- European Accident Report: To facilitate the formalities in the event of an accident.
Checking oil levels
- Engine oil: Keep your engine running smoothly by checking the oil level.
- Coolant: To prevent engine overheating.
- Brake fluid: Crucial for your safety, make sure it's at the right level.
Tire pressure and profileÂ
- Tire pressure: If your vehicle is loaded, adjust the pressure to save fuel and prevent premature wear. Don't forget your spare tire.
- Tire tread: Replace your tires if the tread depth is less than or equal to 1.6mm. Good tire maintenance is essential for your safety and insurance cover.
Other travel tips
- Plan your itinerary in advance: Avoid surprises by planning your route, especially in unfamiliar areas.
- Bring entertainment: Music playlists, audio books, and games for the kids can turn a long car journey into an enjoyable adventure for all.
- Take regular breaks: Stop every couple of hours to rest, which is essential for staying alert and safe.
