And in case you are making your road trips through roads not trodden, check the conditions of the road from the internet. You may also get it verified from your acquaintances that have travelled through that road. Even if you have checked the road condition much ahead of your scheduled trip, always recheck just at the outset of your journey by road.
Always Avoid Accident:
