Some take flights home and some drive for hours to return to their hometown. Whichever the case, it\u2019s very important that you stay safe on the road! Read on for some tips to do so.<\/p>\n<!--more-->\n<h2>#1. Rest Well Before Driving<\/h2>\n<p>This almost goes without saying: It is very important that you <strong>get enough rest<\/strong> before a long trip back home. We can\u2019t stress this enough! Fatigue is one of the main causes of road accidents and it can simply be avoided by just getting enough rest.<\/p>\n<p>Go to bed earlier in the night before and get at least 8 hours of sleep. Avoid driving at night too (even if you\u2019re a night owl), as visibility is bad and there may be other drivers who forget to turn on their lights.<\/p>\n<h2>#2. Ensure That Your Car Is Road-Trip Ready<\/h2>\n<p>Mirrors, check. Seat, check. These are, of course, not all the things you need to check your car for. It is very important that you take your car to a mechanic or worship for a quick check-up and service. You want to make sure that all your car\u2019s components are at its best functioning condition &#8211; especially before you go on a long road-trip (not to mention hours stuck in traffic).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Keep in mind some of these <strong>important things to check<\/strong> when you send your car in:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Engine<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Battery<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Brakes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Tyres<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Timing Belts &amp; Hoses<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Lights<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>There are also car brands that are offering free car inspection for all brands. If there are parts that need replacing, do it as soon as possible and don\u2019t wait until it breaks. Better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/6-Safety-Hacks-When-You-Balik-Kampung-for-Raya-2019-2-768x512.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-Safety-Hacks-When-You-Balik-Kampung-for-Raya-2019-2-768x512\" style=\"width: 680px;\" ><\/p>\n<h2>#3. Better Late Than Never<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Speed kills<\/strong> &#8211; harsh, but it\u2019s true. It doesn\u2019t have to just be you speeding either as it could be other drivers who risk other people\u2019s lives. Whether you are going to balik kampung alone or with your family, you shouldn\u2019t be in a rush. Drive at the appropriate speed and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehero.my\/travel-lifestyle\/articles\/15-expensive-traffic-offences-malaysia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">follow the speed limits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And when you do get frustrated with heavy traffic (when, not if), take a deep breath and take it nice and easy. Remember, it\u2019s better to be late than to never make it home at all.<\/p>\n<h2>#4. Strictly <em>Navigation Only!<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>We can\u2019t live without our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehero.my\/technology\/articles\/9-things-didnt-know-can-smartphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smartphones<\/a>, there\u2019s no denying that today. When you are driving, however, it becomes another distraction. That being said, we do use our smartphones for many purposes, one of which is navigation (via Waze, Google Maps, or other apps). The only reason your phone should be in-use during your road-trip is for that (and music streaming, of course).<\/p>\n<p>Get yourself a car phone-holder and just prop your smartphone in with navigation turned on for convenience. If you must fiddle with your smartphone, do pull over or get to a rest stop before doing so!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/144634072.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net\/hubfs\/144634072\/assets_comparehero\/6-Safety-Hacks-When-You-Balik-Kampung-for-Raya-2019-1-768x512.jpg.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"6-Safety-Hacks-When-You-Balik-Kampung-for-Raya-2019-1-768x512.jpg\" style=\"width: 680px;\" ><\/p>\n<h2>#5. That is <em>NOT<\/em> A Fast Lane<\/h2>\n<p>If \u201cemergency lane\u201d is the first thing that popped into your mind, then good! We\u2019re on the same wavelength. The emergency lane is just that &#8211; for emergencies only. Never should anyone use it as a main travelling, especially at high speeds. Speeding in the emergency lane can cause accidents and risk lives as there may be people who are using it when their vehicles break down or for other emergencies.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to the main lanes and be patient!<\/p>\n<h2>#6. No Car? No Problem!<\/h2>\n<p>Not all of us own a car. While there is public transportation, sometimes there\u2019s just an added level of convenience that we need with a car. Fortunately, there\u2019s always a smart solution in this time and day: <strong>You can rent a GoCar!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Raya, they\u2019re having a promotional campaign where you can book a car at only RM6.90 per hour or RM69 a day! However, do keep in mind that the rates are applicable on Mondays to Thursdays only (Raya falls on Wednesday and Thursday).<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, to give you a better balik kampung deal, CompareHero.my and GoCar has collaborated to bring you even more value when you sign-up for a credit card!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparehero.my\/credit-card\/partners\/affiliate-gocar?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=gocarsafety&amp;utm_term=CB&amp;utm_content=hyperlink\">Applicants who apply for selected credit cards<\/a> (identifiable with the GoCar banner) will receive RM100 worth of GoPocket Points.
