PURPLE PARKING, who offer concierge facilities at most major UK
airports, have come out with a press release which states the obvious
but is well worth repeating. With summer, hopefully, on its way check
your oil and water levels. Carry a spare bottle of water and carton
of oil in your car. Tyres should be looked at too including the spare
making sure that they meet with legal tread depth conditions. Check
front and rear wiper blades for wear or splitting. Do not fill the
fuel tank to the brim especially on hot days as with most liquids fuel
will expand. And if you are in for a long motorway journey take
something to eat and drink, just in case you are unlucky enough to get
caught in traffic congestion. You could be stuck for several hours.
Motorway policy has changed and the immediate clearance of an incident
does not seem to be priority any longer.
