Product Information

However, use your instincts and if the weather is meant to be hot during your drive, avoid packing any chocolate or sweets that will melt. Especially on a long car journey, you’re bound to get peckish along the way and there’s nothing that could ruin the adventurous mood more than a garage-bought sandwich. That said, scientists at Loughborough University found that driving while dehydrated can be just as dangerous as drink-driving. These are seen as the ideal car bisucit as they won't melt in high temperatures and the crumb quota is relatively low. The police can prosecute motorists for careless driving if snacking or drinking at the wheel has caused an accident or officers witness poor behaviour on the road as a result of someone sipping down a coffee or munching through an apple.

The unhealthy options are Maltesers and crisps in general, while plenty of people admitted they consume one of their five a day by having carrot sticks and hummus when in the car. Pack an assortment of grab bags filled with sweets for the drive, for everyone to share and munch on.Diesel, petrol, wood, gas or electricity – which sort of campervan heater will keep you toasty warm this winter? While standard pretzels will likely leave you gagging for a drink, these are far less dry but will almost certainly melt if you don't have the air-con on full blast. It’s hard to turn down a chocolate digestive or Bourbon, especially if you haven’t eaten for a few hours. Independence Day is a time to gather with friends and family, proudly displaying your patriotism and celebrating the spirit of freedom.

Again, they're another item you'll likely find wedged into every crease and crevice in your car's interior and - when exposed to heat - will leave your fingers and palms a rainbow of colours. If it’s the first then you could consider packing them each a little bag full of mini mysteries - tiny notebook and pencil, sticker sheet, an optical scavenger hunt (tick list of things to spot - orange lorry, green car, 3 motorbikes in a row, cows in a field, that sort of thing), set of safe challenges to do from a car seat - wiggle your big toe without the others moving, tense and relax legs and arms, breathe in count to give breathe out, count your teeth with your tongue, that sort of thing mixed in with the occasional boiled sweet, and let them open a new one at any set interval. Whether it’s a massive bag of mint imperials, tiny Tic-Tacs, humbugs, Fox’s glacier mints or Everton mints, Murray mints or Polos, they mostly last for a long time and you can savour each bit of minty refreshment. If it is warm then they will be chewy, if it is cold outside then be prepared to nearly break your teeth before enjoying whichever flavour is your favourite.

The cars most likely to be stolen: Motors most targeted by thieves are revealed and they're NOT luxury Ferraris or Porsches - but will YOUR insurance actually pay out?

Like the scotch egg, you'll always see them in the fridge sections of petrol stations - which might explain why they received so many votes. You don’t have to compromise a healthy diet just because you’re on the road, as there are a plethora of healthy snack options that are perfect for a road trip. A cooler bag or a cool box with a couple of ice packs in will do the trick and allow your fresh fruits, veggies, dips and even chocolate to stay as delicious as they were at the start of your journey. While this might be the case, the level of enforcement is extremely low - especially with police budgets being cut and there being far fewer road traffic officers on our roads today.When ds was 5 or so, I'd do a mix of cereals in a resealable plastic bag along with various dry fruits - so shreddies, mini shredded wheat with apricot centres, cheerios, cornflakes, raisins, dried banana, dried pineapple, dried cranberries, all sorts really.

This could even be leftovers from last night’s dinner, and it’ll keep you full for at least a couple hours on a long drive. The original hard sweets are likely best to suck on for long treks in vehicles, though the wrappers often end up turning up all over the car for weeks to come. Unless you have heard them all before, then just pick a different packet of sweets to avoid the unwanted tales. I’ve found over time that these items keep me full until I eat a full meal, are very portable, and aren’t too messy.Once you’ve planned one of the best road trips in the UK, your bags are packed and your cheap insurance for a day is confirmed, there is only one thing left to plan – your road trip snacks!
