Fresher’s week will start soon in full force; for many students they will be making their way off to university for the first time. For many this trip will be the furthest they have driven, and in an area they are not yet familiar with. This week’s tips give advice to students packing their bags for the big drive or ride to university from IAM RoadSmart’s head of driving and riding standards, Richard Gladman.
Richard said: “Moving away from home for the first time is always stressful, so make sure you know the route, where to stop for breaks and where you can park at your new home for the next few months. While you may get a broken heart at university don’t start by breaking any of your hard earned belongings. Pack carefully ensuring you can see out of the car and don’t overload it or have loose items rolling around inside. If you are unsure of anything have the confidence to ask; experienced drivers will always share their knowledge.”
