Local holidays are often underestimated when it comes to safety.

Whether you are driving cross-country or staying at a nearby resort, risks like road accidents, scams, and break-ins still exist.

10 ESSENTIAL SAFETY MEASURES:

1. Ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and insured.

2. Plan your route and inform someone of your itinerary.

3. Avoid driving long distances at night.

4. Never pick up hitchhikers or share personal details with strangers.

5. Secure your home and notify a trusted neighbour when you leave.

6. Be cautious when booking accommodation online — verify legitimacy.

7. Keep your pets safe with adequate food, care, and supervision.

8. Be alert to wildlife or stray animals on the road.

9. Always wear your seatbelt and obey speed limits.

10. Keep emergency numbers stored on your phone.

10 LIFE HACKS FOR LOCAL TRAVEL:

1. Use real-time GPS apps like Waze for traffic updates.

2. Carry a spare phone charger for your car.

3. Prepare a small cooler box for long trips.

4. Pack a first-aid kit for the road.

5. Use rest stops for stretching to avoid fatigue.

6. Take photos of your car before renting accommodation for safety records.

7. Keep copies of your booking confirmations.

8. Carry cash for tolls and emergencies.

9. Save your insurance and roadside assistance numbers.

10. Always lock your doors — even at fuel stations.

In conclusion, local travel safety requires constant awareness, preparation, and responsibility.

Whether travelling within one’s hometown or exploring nearby regions, individuals must remain alert to potential risks such as crime, unsafe transport, or unfamiliar environments. By following basic safety measures—such as sharing travel plans,

avoiding risky areas, securing valuables, and staying sober and vigilant—many incidents can be prevented.

Safe travel is not just about reaching a destination; it is about ensuring that every journey, no matter how short,

ends without harm.

Stay safe. Stay vigilant.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook. This retaliation happens on social media and creates doubt about our integrity and ability. Doubt created on social media platforms is both unwarranted and untrue. We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.

STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
