One of the first things I learnt was to manage my journey. Not because I sat down and thought that is was a good idea, but out of necessity, I needed to know there was help at hand. In the seventies, when I learnt to drive, we didn't have mobile phones so letting other people know what time I was setting off and was expected to arrive was extremely important, especially on a long journey. With mobile phones its much easier to stay in touch, we do it all day, so why not for a car journey. If someone knows when you are expected they know when to raise the alarm, however, you do need to let them know if you are running late for any reason. Also give them your route so they now where to look if you breakdown. Its a good idea, if you are travelling at night to take major routes rather than back roads as these are better lit and busier, so if you have a problem you will not be so vulnerable (thanks to Sally for that one). A couple of seconds on the phone could be a life saver!
