If you’re heading off on holiday in your car soon, don’t leave home before you’ve done these quick checks
Check that all the lights work properly, including full and dipped-beam headlights, rear and side lights, brake and hazard lights, all four indicators and the light above the rear numberplate.
It’s compulsory to carry spare bulbs with you if you’re travelling through France and some other European countries, so check the rules for your destination well in advance.Wipe the grime off the car’s lights and numberplates. If the headlights are covered in a layer of dirt, they won’t give the best visibility, which is especially important on unlit motorways and rural roads. Car numberplates are used by the automatic vehicle recognition systems on toll roads, so make sure yours are readable.
Next, make sure the tyre tread depth is above the legal limit of 1.6mm. If your tyres have tread-depth indicators, check that the tread hasn’t worn down to the level of the indicator. Alternatively, put a 20p coin into the area between the tread – if the raised part of the coin is above the tread, the tyre is too worn.
It’s also important to check the tyres are set to the correct pressure. If they’re over or under-inflated, it will affect the way the car handles and its fuel economy.If you're venturing abroad, you'll need to make sure you have all the equipment required to drive through each country. Rules vary between countries, so check before you head off.
In France, for example, you’ll need a reflective jacket for each traveller, a warning triangle, headlight beam deflector stickers , two breathalysers and a GB sticker or Euro registration plates with GB on them.Finally, fill up with fuel at a local service station. The ones on motorways often charge a higher price per litre and at peak holiday times they’re likely to be crowded.
