Essential kit and rules that will serve you well on a cross-country drive

DOCUMENTS
Keep your original driving license with you. Also, keep any other identity proof ready, such as PAN card or voter's ID. Other vital documents are your certificate of insurance and your car's registration documents.
COLD CLIMATES
If you're in a part of the country that experiences a lot of snowfall, you'll need snow chains. These are tyre-size specific, not car-model specific. Sunglasses are most essential for driving in the hills where shadow and harsh glare alternate.
HEADLIGHTS
Adjust your car's headlights so they won't blind motorists coming from the other side. Kits are available for most cars but they can be tricky to fix. Some parts of the country insist that you keep low beam on at all times.
DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE
No matter how light the drink, the fact remains that it's dangerous. Drink-drive limits are not tolerated in certain parts of the country. For instance, although Mumbai might be regarded as India's party capital, the drink-drive limit is zero.
