Ok, fair enough, we realise not everyone knows a mechanic and we’re not suggest we all start kidnapping anyone at garages.

What we’re really saying is that you should take your best boy scout senses and always be prepared.

During road trips, cars breakdown, gas runs out, people get ill. Make sure there’s at least one of you that knows the way around an engine and always have a worst case scenario plan, in case stuff gets messy.

We’re not trying to ruin the fun, but if you plan properly we just won’t worry so much about you crazy kids while you’re out there.
