Nothing tests friendships faster than low fuel, missing an exit and someone saying, ‘I thought you packed the charger’.⁣ ⁣ Before heading off on your next road trip take a minute to plan your journey. Check your route for fuel stops, weather, and traffic conditions plus rest stops.⁣ ⁣ Even pack an old school map – at least you know it won’t lose signal, die on 2% battery or redirect you through someone's farm…⁣ ⁣ Long drives and unfamiliar roads can lead to fatigue, distractions and rushed decisions behind the wheel. Planning ahead helps reduce pressure once you’re on the road.⁣ ⁣ In 2025, 291 people lost their lives on Victorian roads. Take your time. The destination will still be there.⁣ ⁣ #NRSW
