As everyone knows, having the correct UK breakdown cover is a very important part of ensuring your road safety.  However, there are various things you can do to help avoid breaking down in the first place:

Fill up and check your levels:  Yes, it seems obvious, but it’s a simple fact that 52% of men and 42% of women admitted to having broken down due to running out of petrol.  Don’t join that statistic.  Check your levels before you leave, and ensure that you have more than enough fuel to see you through to the end of your journey.  This will avoid your UK breakdown cover company being called out.

Don’t overload, but do keep the vitals.  It’s important to not overload any car, as this puts massive pressure on the suspension, and also means the car will drink petrol like it’s Keith Richards and the fuel is LSD.  However, there are essentials that you should always have in the car: first aid kits, warning triangles, a fire extinguisher and spare light bulbs are all vital.
Provisions: no, you’re probably not driving through the arctic, but always keep blankets and some food with you.  If you breakdown in cold weather you might be waiting a while for your company to appear, so make sure you’re prepared.

Repairs/Maintenance.  If your car has a nagging problem that you’re not quite sure about, it’s vital that you have it checked out before you embark on any long journeys: it’s far more sensible than discovering that engine warning meant a fuel leak when you’re driving past a forest fire.
