Traveling long distances is certainly different from traveling within the city. Apart from requiring a healthy physique, You also need to be more alert and make preparations to anticipate things that might happen on the trip. So that your long distance journey runs safely and comfortably, pay attention to the following tips:
Learn the Route Before You Go
Before starting the journey, You should check the route you will take via an application such as Google Maps or Waze. This is useful for finding out whether the route chosen by the application suits your preferences: Does the route pass through narrow village roads but reach the destination faster?, or take the main road but arrive at your destination more slowly? Does the route have lots of turns and inclines?, or is there another alternative way?? By recognizing alternative routes, You can choose the best route to avoid panic when maps direct you to road terrain that doesn't match your preferences.
Make sure you have enough petrol and e-Toll balance
The third thing you have to ensure is of course the availability of petrol, which is often overlooked but is very important when traveling. Because, not all routes you take provide gas stations, So it is recommended that you fill up with petrol before starting the trip. Besides that, You also need to ensure that your e-Toll balance is sufficient to reach your destination, and even better when your smartphone is equipped with Near Field Communication features (NFC) so you can top up your e-Toll balance anywhere.
Have Emergency Numbers Ready
Another important thing you need to pay attention to is preparing an emergency number in case something undesirable happens during the trip. You can save the hospital number, police station number, as well as other emergency service numbers.
