              Fuel and fluids

              Refuel early: Don’t wait for the warning light, especially late at night or on peak travel days. Fill up when opportunities are convenient instead of risking long queues later.

              Toilets and cleanliness

              Peak-time strategy: Keep tissues and sanitizer handy and head for toilets immediately on arrival before food queues. Families benefit from using designated rooms when available.

              Food and prayer rooms

              Dining options: Most RNRs offer local staples and snacks, with larger locations hosting multiple stalls. Off-peak meal times help reduce waiting.

              Parking and traffic flow

              Safer parking habits: Park nose-out when possible for an easier exit and choose well-lit bays at night. Avoid double-parking near toilet or food blocks.

              Safety tips

              Secure belongings: Stow valuables out of sight, lock doors, and keep breaks purposeful—especially at night. Situational awareness is the best deterrent.

              Night and festive driving

              Expect crowding: Eves and returns bring heavy traffic, longer queues for fuel and toilets, and tighter parking. Be flexible and consider the next two RNRs along the route.

              Tyres, battery, and breakdowns

              Tyres: Heat, speed, and potholes can expose weak tyres. Check pressures when cold before departure and visually inspect sidewalls at major stops.
