GUIDE for NSHW Travel...

[Ahgongwolve]

Okay this CNY period many of us will be using the NSHW it seems.
Here is a list of Tips and recommendation .. please help add in the list so others can benefit from it.


1. Do not Overinflate your tires - due to the high temperature generated over the long drive the air will expand and this prevents good contact with the road. I prefer to under inflate a little.

2. Bring a Pee-bag, so that you can pee when you need to a plastic bag with a cut out plastic bottle as a funnel works best.

3. Make sure your spare tyre is well inlfated

4. Get a steering wheel lock

5. Prepare $50-$100 RM note and put these in your wallet. The rest of the cash please put it somewhere else .. e.g. in your underwear

6. Make sure your coolant and water in your tank is sufficient..

7. Take note of speed trap location (You can refer to the LIST HERE)

I am confused with point #1 above. Is it better to under inflate a little ?

I can't recall where I seen some article that recommend to over-inflate when going for long distance drive.

 

Would you help to clarify.

Thanks.

Oei your first point salah lah. it should be overinflate a little (i.e. follow the higher inflation pressure in the manual which is for heavy loads and/or long distance driving).

Under inflat is dangerous. I would not use the word over-inflat, I would say appropriately inflated but surely not nearing or below the recommended psi. Since experts say so, we layman just follow lor.
