Road trips can be a great way to get out and see the country with someone you enjoy. All the sightseeing can be exciting, but when you're on the road for extended periods of time there are a few things that can go wrong. Here are some tips you can use for your next road trip gone wrong:

Flat Tires and Cracked Windshields

Flat tires and cracked windshields are two of the most common occurrences that drivers face while making long trips. This is because the longer you drive the better chance there is of running over a sharp object or having rock or other debris hit the windshield. Knowing how to change a tire can be very convenient if you have the tools on hand. If you don't, you may be able to use your vehicle's insurance roadside coverage. This means that they have professionals or tow trucks that can come to you any hour of the day or night to help you get back on the road. Windshield repairs for cracks will have to wait for the morning, but if you have a common vehicle, most auto shops will be able to find you the right windshield within 24 hours. Tires can be changed on the side of the road if there is enough room to do it safely. If there isn't, you will be towed to a safer area so the roadside assistance professional can do it for you. Before you leave on a road trip, you should call your insurance agent to check to see if you have roadside assistance coverage. If you don't, consider adding it.

Car Accident

If you find yourself in an auto accident you will want to be sure to have all your documentation handy. Before you leave on your road trip, you should clean out the glove box and make sure you have the necessities. License, car title, and registration are all things you will want to have on hand while speaking to insurance agents. You need to have the right information to exchange with the other involved party. Keeping a disposable camera in the car at all times is always a good idea because you will want to document the damages thoroughly.

Emergency Supplies

Keeping some emergency supplies in the car is always a good idea. If you're stranded for a period of time, having water and some non-perishable foods in the car can help you stay healthy and safe. First aid kits and a few simple tools will help you stay prepared!

Use these tips to prepare for your next road trip, it can give you some peace of mind to feel better prepared. After all that prep, you can sit back and worry about the music selection and the snacks!

About Me

I have very small rooms in my house and I have spent many hours looking into ways to create a larger feel in the small spaces. My bathroom is especially small and I had to find a way to make it appear a lot larger than it really is. I decided that the best way for me to create the open feel that I wanted in the bathroom was to install a glass shower surround. I had my contractor remove the bathtub and install a walk-in shower that was completely enclosed with glass. This is just one way that I have used glass in my small home.
