However, solo road trips can come with its own dangers. Make sure to follow our solo road trip safety tips to stay safe on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-know-your-limits\">1. Know your limits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be doing all the driving, so make sure you check in with yourself regularly while you\u2019re driving to gauge your fatigue levels. Take plenty of breaks and don\u2019t be afraid to stop for the night even if you haven\u2019t driven for as long as you wanted. Research suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rospa.com\/road-safety\/advice\/drivers\/driver-health\">driver fatigue may be a contributory factor in up to 20% of road accidents<\/a>, so it\u2019s important that you look out for signs of tiredness. Signs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Head nodding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting distracted<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yawning frequently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heavy eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drifting out of your lane<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making more mistakes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inconsistent speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-stay-in-touch-with-family-and-friends\">2. Stay in touch with family and friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sterling-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/solo-road-trip-safety-tips-family-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Person speaking on the phone with lake in the background\" class=\"wp-image-22168\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image source: Timur Repin via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, this might be your road trip escape for the year, but it\u2019s a great idea to keep in touch with a family member or friend to let them know where you are. This helps ensure that someone knows your recent location in the event that something does go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-don-t-pick-up-strangers\">3. Don\u2019t pick up strangers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might be tempted to pick up someone stranded on the side of the road or at a petrol station, but the safest thing is to avoid picking up strangers. Yes, you might feel bad, but this is a much safer option \u2013 especially if you\u2019re travelling solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re concerned about the stranded stranger, you could pull over in a safe place and call 999. Let them know the person\u2019s location and they should be able to provide assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-explore-desolate-areas-safely\">4. Explore desolate areas safely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fancy a few days in the wilderness, you should<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sterling-insurance.co.uk\/blog\/standard\/prepare-long-car-journey-road-trips\/\"> prepare well beforehand<\/a> to stay safe. Make sure you research the region beforehand. You might need to get permission to camp in your chosen area. You should also check whether your phone will have signal \u2013 if not, you might want to pack a map and compass for easy navigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you have enough water for the duration of your stay. You can either bring your own or stay by a running stream. Just be sure to boil the water before drinking! It\u2019s also a good idea to take a battery pack for your phone, especially if you\u2019ll be staying in the area for a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-try-not-to-keep-too-much-cash-on-you\">5. Try not to keep too much cash on you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important that you don\u2019t keep too much cash on you or in your vehicle, otherwise you might be seen as an easy target. As you\u2019ll likely be stopping at multiple petrol stations and in a number of different towns, you should be able to take out money while you\u2019re on the road so you shouldn\u2019t need to take notes with you on the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-keep-a-good-supply-of-essentials-on-hand\">6.
