In our last edition of Everyday Genius, we offered Part I – road trip hacks, with Part II coming today.
Before heading out, check tire pressure, oil levels, windshield wipers, and your spare tire. A quick vehicle check can prevent roadside headaches later. Keeping a flashlight, bottled water, jumper cables, and a simple first-aid kit in the car is always a good idea.
Technology can also help make travel easier. Phone mounts keep navigation visible and safer for drivers, while portable battery packs ensure devices stay charged during long hours on the road. Travelers may also want to use apps that track gas prices, road construction, and weather conditions ahead.
We recommend packing one extra outfit in an easy-to-reach bag in case of spills, weather changes, or unexpected overnight delays.
The best advice always is to avoid over planning or underestimating potential delays.
Everyday Genius will provide weekly little tricks. Big wins.
