Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It seems like the holiday travel rush has started.

I basically never go to places like that, so I’ve managed to avoid them lol

I'll try to travel at a different time as much as possible. I'm so sick of traffic jams!

Please exercise extreme caution if you are driving.

Especially the restroom! And gas!!

Drivers know this well—even when you think you can go quite a ways, the gas level drops surprisingly fast.

I kept thinking, “I’ll stop at the next rest area” or “I’ll stop at the next gas station,” but before I knew it, the low-fuel light came on!!

This really freaks me out.

In the worst-case scenario, I might even have to wonder if I can get on the highway after exiting.

I've been through that many times myself.

Plus, the New Year's break is actually quite a long one.

It’s becoming less common for it to be open all the time, as it used to be.

In the countryside, even convenience stores sometimes close. (I think that's fine, though.)

I suppose 24-hour operations will either disappear over time or be automated.

During the New Year's holiday season, I make a point of filling up whenever the gas gauge gets down to about half.

It's safer to be prepared for anything, don't you think?

As a rule of thumb, if your gas tank is about half full, fill up whenever you get the chance!

Here are some measures you can take.

It's the same with the bathroom, but I find I surprisingly forget about it when I'm in the car, lol.

And,The constant stress of driving makes me need to use the restroom more often.That's right.

That means when you suddenly feel the urge to use the bathroom—something we tend to forget about—it’s actually pretty urgent, lol.

That's exactly how I feel.

Before I knew it, it was a state of emergency!! lol

Well, this has happened many times in the past, but,"Field"It also frequently leads to that worst-case scenario! lol

When it comes to bathroom breaks, the secret to a comfortable drive is to go whenever you can, right? lol

 

By the way, I hear that people in Hokkaido tend to fill up their tanks as soon as the gas level drops to half.

I heard that gas stations are far away or close early.

I was surprised by an answer I never would have thought of lol

 

Everyone, be sure to keep an eye on your gas and restroom breaks, and drive safely!

 

See you later.
