JAKARTA - Ahead of Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri, there are a number of small components, however, important, that travelers should not forget in private vehicles so that their journey runs smoothly. "In fact, what is forgotten is small items but has a large function when in an emergency condition," said the owner of the PJM.id workshop located in Blok M Square, South Jakarta, Kendre, quoted from Antara, Saturday, March 30. According to him, the first component that should not be forgotten is installing a dashboard camera (dashcam). The component will help be a witness when things happen that are not desirable during the journey back and forth. The use of a dashcam is also not only used during homecoming activities, in daily driving the components become mandatory devices that stick to the vehicle, especially when the current road conditions are very congested. It is not only the dashcam that is a component that must be used during homecoming, the readiness of the jack is also something that must be considered to always be carried, especially in unusual road conditions. “ Donggrak is also important to carry because no one knows about the conditions on the road. Moreover, the terrain that will be passed during homecoming becomes a foreign terrain for motorists. We can overcome that before something (the tire leaks) hits the travelers' vehicle,” said Kendre explains. Components that must also be considered before going home are the quality of the wiper and also the lighting of the vehicle before being invited to go home. wiper is important when going home during the rainy season.

“ If we recommend that, when the vehicle is exposed to sunlight directly we suggest replacing (wiper) once every six months. If the vehicle is not exposed to the sun directly, it can last up to 2 years,” he said. The good quality of lighting also provides good visibility for motorists to clearly see the road conditions they go through so that bad things don't happen to motorists and people around them.
