Driving to your new Norwood Grand condo for moving day? Use technology to your advantage and heed these five driving tips to keep safe and arrive in style.
Uncharted Territory? Use Navigation
In today’s day and age, there’s no reason not to use your smartphone’s navigation app to get from point A to point B. Even if you’re an experienced driver, you can sometimes find shortcuts or paths that are less traffic and save you invaluable time. Most modern cars are equipped with it as well, and it definitely takes off some of the stress on moving day.
Get Plenty of Rest
Driving while tired or fatigued is never a good thing, and if you’re going a long distance such as from one state or city to another, then getting a good night’s rest is even more important. While not a driving tip per se, you can increase your chances of quality shut-eye by using apps that relax and make you sleep soundly through the night.
Map Rest Stops Along the Route
Put some rest stops along the route you’re taking when moving to a new house. Depending on the distance, you would probably need one every several hours of driving, with more if you’ll be driving more than 4 hours.
Keep Awake with Non-Distracting Entertainment
Your country’s local radio stations should be enough to accompany you on long road trips, but technology has more to offer- specifically, your favorite tunes, podcasts, or audiobooks. Audio content has that non-distracting aspect in that you can continue to concentrate while navigating the roads and highways.
Take the Weather into Consideration
Choose the right day for moving to make it easier. Consider putting off moving day if there are storms or forecasts of heavy snow. You can check this on a weather app or by reading the local news on your smartphone.
