People all over the country – not to mention the world – have endured various stretches of quarantine “lockdown” over the last few months. Now that the weather is warming up and some restrictions being loosened, folks are itching to get out – and a summer road trip is appealing. Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is dedicated to both service and safety for their clients, so here are some smart tips for families or friends who want to hit the road – safely.
PREP YOUR VEHICLE
It’s more critical than ever to ensure that your Mitsubishi car or SUV is in peak shape. Bring it into Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA to ensure that belts, fluids, tires, and everything else are working properly. Even during “normal” times, a breakdown or accident is annoying; you don’t want that happening during the COVID-19 era.
“Social distancing” is a little tricky inside the cabin of your vehicle, although Peruzzi Mitsubishi offers lots of roomy options like the 2020 Outlander and Eclipse. Keep extra masks on hand (and consider folding some tissues into the mask for extra protection). Hand sanitizer and wipes are also a must-have.
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE TIMES WE’RE LIVING IN
It’s not like the old days when you’d casually stop into a roadside diner or theme park. You’ll still want to limit interaction with others as much as possible. Peruzzi Mitsubishi suggests packing a cooler full of drinks and food to sidestep restaurants. Pick destinations that provide for a lot of extra distancing, such as a park, hiking trail, or beach.
Because most people are still a little rattled at the situation (and many haven’t been driving as much and could therefore be a tad rusty), take breaks. Consider 3-hour stretches of driving versus 6 or more.
Even if things aren’t quite back to normal, there are still ways to enjoy a little day trip out into the area around you. Peruzzi Mitsubishi in Fairless Hills, PA is always ready to get you back out onto the road and help you enjoy the summer!
