Are you a driver of a call taxi? Do you drive regularly to various places? Being a driver, I drive a Chennai to Trichy One Way Taxi for One Trip Taxi Services, about 3 days in a week. I would like to share the most important things that you should remember to have with you as a driver of a long trip travelling car.
Let us go through some of the most essential items you should have in your taxi.
1. Driving License
Do not ever forget to take your driving license with you. You will always need it for any check posts or for any police checking procedures. Always keep your driving license renewed on time. Keep a photocopy of the same and also a soft copy in your mobile phone.
2. Safety Equipments
If there is a breakdown, you will be stuck on the way. This would be an unsafe situation. So it is better for you to always carry a torch and a high-vis jacket to facilitate clear visibility. You should alert breakdown services and other drivers to reach your location. Carry a blanket because you may need to wait in the cold for some time till the recovery services arrive.
No matter how skillful a driver may be, he may meet with an accident. You should always have extra safety equipments – a life hammer and seat belt cutter. It may be needed when you have to break the window and get out of the taxi. Carry a first aid kit which will be helpful to dress up minor injuries.
3. Spare Car Parts
Some parts of your car have a short lifespan and may get damaged at any time during your travel. So always have some important spares to repair your vehicle by yourself. The light bulbs may also go out. So, it would be better if you have all the spare parts like headlight, brake light, indicator light, fog light, extra wiper blades, wiper blade rubber, and air filters as you would need them at any point in time. Carrying a spare tire may take a lot of space in your car but a tire repair kit or an emergency tire repair aerosol take only a little space and hence they would be better options. You can inflate your tire, seal the puncture, get back on the road and complete your job. Broken mirrors and lenses cannot be mended by you. They should be replaced by a mechanic. Mirror or lens repair tapes can also be helpful to help you take your passengers safely before you take the vehicle to garage.
4. Fuel And Battery
Fuel cannot be carried along with you but if your taxi runs out of fuel, you will have to stop at any point. It would be better if you take an empty fuel can to a petrol station to get some petrol. Sometimes, an old or worn battery may be causing the problem. To avoid that, you must carry a set of jump leads with you. With that, use the power from another car’s battery to start your vehicle and travelling again.
5. Extra accessories To Carry
As a taxi driver, your smartphone is a very important tool with which you contact your employer as well as your customers. You manage all the messages regarding the jobs from your company and also all your bookings. You also may be using a route map from your mobile phone. But think of a situation when you lose signal? So, to help with such a condition, you should carry a paper map with you so that you can find your way around. The other accessories are extra clothes. If you get dirty or oil spills on your clothes while repairing your car, you can always change your clothes. Clothes will be helpful also in a cold whether.
