What should drivers do to prepare for a long trip?

  1. Leave right after eating

  2. Check the vehicle’s condition, including tire pressure and fluids

  3. Rigidly adhere to a strict driving schedule

  4. Drive without any scheduled breaks

The correct answer is: Check the vehicle’s condition, including tire pressure and fluids

Preparing for a long trip involves ensuring that your vehicle is in optimal condition to handle the journey. Checking the vehicle's condition, including tire pressure and fluids, is crucial because it helps in identifying any mechanical issues that might arise during the trip, which could lead to breakdowns or accidents. Proper tire pressure is essential not only for fuel efficiency but also for safe handling and braking. Ensuring that fluids such as oil, coolant, and windshield washer fluid are at appropriate levels helps prevent overheating and ensures visibility in various driving conditions. Adopting this proactive approach reduces the risk of being stranded and contributes to a safer overall travel experience.
