The beginning of the Easter holidays in some autonomous communities marks this weekend the beginning of the departure operation, with thousands of trips to enjoy these days of rest. In this context, preparing trips well becomes a fundamental aspect to guarantee a safe and smooth journey.
The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has issued a series of recommendations aimed at travelers, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that the vehicle is in optimal condition before embarking on the trip. The advice includes checking elements such as wheels, brakes, battery and oil level.
The route planning is another vital advice provided by the DGT.

These measures are not only required by law, but also significantly reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of an accident.
