Top driving tips to keep you on track
■ PetrolPrices
When it comes to saving money on diesel and petrol, it makes sense to use a smartphone app, especially given the current volatility in fuel prices. The PetrolPrices app aims to find the cheapest or nearest fuel stations in any UK postcode, town or city, potentially saving you money over the bank holidays and the rest of the season.
■ Keep it local
You don’t always have to travel far to enjoy touring – why not treat yourself to a holiday in your local area? Advantages can be significant. You know the best places to visit, as well as where to eat and drink. You have local knowledge of any traffic bottlenecks and ongoing roadworks. Fuel costs are minimised. You also get to rediscover your own patch, but as a tourist – let’s face it, whether it’s five or 500 miles away, once you’re on site, you’re in holiday mode!
■ Waze
This useful driving app notifies drivers of any road accidents, traffic buildups and speed cameras. It will also give you up-to-date ETAs and help you to find the cheapest fuel prices along your route.
