Ideal Driving Techniques for Long Trips
Long journeys can be both enjoyable and sometimes tiring. Especially when you are going on a long journey for holiday, it is very important to ensure your safety throughout the journey and to have a comfortable driving experience. As SAW Rent a Car, we would like to share some driving techniques that you should consider before going on long journeys with the vehicles you can rent from Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
Maintaining your vehicle before going on a long journey is very important for your safety. As SAW Rent a Car, we carefully check each of the vehicles you rent, so that they do not cause any disruptions in your journey. However, it is useful to make a few simple checks about the vehicle after the rental process:
tires: Check the air pressure of the tires and review the tread depth. Adequate tire pressure is important for long trips.
Oil and Water Level: Check the oil level for healthy engine operation.
Headlights and Signals: Make sure your headlights are working properly for good visibility.
The correct driving position is very important for your body health on long journeys. Adjusting your car seat correctly will make you feel more comfortable on long-hour journeys. Adjust the backrest angle and steering wheel height of your seat for your comfort.
Thanks to the comfort of the vehicles you rent from SAW Rent a Car, long journeys become more enjoyable. You can spend your journey more comfortably thanks to comfortable seats, spacious interiors and ergonomic designs.
Modern vehicles offer many helpful features for drivers on long journeys. The Cruise Control (constant speed) system provides great convenience, especially on highways where you will travel at a constant speed for a long time. In addition, in-car multimedia systems and navigation systems also make your journey easier. As SAW Rent a Car, most of these features are standard in the vehicles you rent, so you can be easily guided throughout your journey.
It is very important to take frequent breaks to rest your body on long journeys, especially during traffic-related waits or winding roads. Fatigue can lead to distraction and accidents. Taking a 15-20 minute rest break approximately every 2 hours is beneficial for both your physical and mental health. SAW Rent a Car vehicles allow you to rest comfortably during these breaks with their spacious interiors.
Complying with speed limits and paying attention to traffic rules on long journeys is one of the most important factors for your safety. Traffic density and road conditions can change at any time, so adjust your speed according to the conditions you encounter on the road. Maintain your distance from other drivers by using your headlights correctly, especially when driving at night.
Planning on long journeys will ensure your journey goes smoothly. Route planning, determining which routes you will use, the location of rest areas and fuel stations minimizes the negativities you may encounter during your journey. Thanks to the navigation system in SAW Rent a Car vehicles, you can reach your destination in the fastest and safest way.
If you are not traveling alone, it is also important to keep in constant communication with other passengers. Throughout the journey, you can exchange ideas on topics such as stopping places and speed settings. Additionally, instead of focusing only on yourself while driving, you can drive more carefully and safely by observing everything around you.
Finally, remember that you need to be patient during long journeys. Traffic density, weather conditions or unexpected situations may extend your journey. However, staying calm rather than panicking will make your safe driving technique more effective. As SAW Rent a Car, we would like to remind you that your safety is our priority under all circumstances. With the vehicles you rent with us, we prioritize not only safety but also comfort during your journey.
In conclusion, Ideal driving techniques for long journeys are crucial to ensure both safety and comfort. As SAW Rent a Car, you can enjoy your journey by applying these techniques with the vehicles you will rent from Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Remember, good preparation and careful driving will make long journeys much more enjoyable. We wish you safe and comfortable journeys!
