Motorhome Driving Safety Tips By Leading Motoring Organisation

One of the country’s leading motoring organisations has offered motorhome driving safety tips. encouraging motorhome drivers and caravanners to share the driving on long journeys to ensure road safety.

The Institute of Advanced Motoring says that long distance drivers en route to holiday destinations should switch with their partners where possible so that all drivers can be as alert as possible. As various bank holidays, Easter breaks and warm weather join together to create idyllic camping conditions, there are more and more people heading out in their motorhomes and it is crucial they adhere to safety advice.

Shared Driving Safety Tips

Below are some of the IAM’s top motorhome driving safety tips for long journeys:

• Where possible, drive with another person capable of driving the vehicle
• Schedule a break once every two hours
• If you are feeling tired pull into the next service station as soon as you can and take a rest
• Plan your journey well and include rest stops
• Make sure you have plenty of fluids while on your journey
• Night driving can exacerbate drowsiness, try to avoid night driving as there are more visibility risks also

Peter Rodger, IAM chief examiner, said: “If you’re embarking on a long journey, get a good rest and use this advice to help make sure you’re alert throughout.”
