Comfort and Convenience
How often to stop is largely personal. Some travellers prefer few breaks and a steady rhythm; others would rather stretch their legs every hour or so, shaped by height, age and habit.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, it helps to set the mirrors and seat and locate the hazard warning switch. Doing this on the driveway rather than at speed keeps attention on the road once the journey begins.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Long drives often bring incoming calls. Where hands-free calling is set up, answering without handling the phone is the practical benefit; the alternative is letting it ring until the next stop.
