Plan your journey
section_content: Plan your route, including any breaks, before setting out. Routes may be
different as local areas make changes to enable social distancing on pavements
and cycle routes.
If you normally share a vehicle with people from other households for
essential journeys, we recommend you find a different way to travel. For
example, consider walking, cycling or using your own vehicle if you can.
If you have to travel with people outside your household group, try to share
the transport with the same people each time and keep to small groups of
people at any one time.
There are some circumstances when wearing a face covering may be marginally
beneficial as a precautionary measure. The evidence suggests that wearing a
face covering does not protect you, but it may protect others if you are
infected but have not yet developed symptoms. This is most relevant for short
periods indoors in crowded areas.
If you can, wear a face covering in an enclosed space where social distancing
isn’t possible and where you will come into contact with people you do not
normally meet. You should be prepared to remove your face covering if asked to
do so by police officers and police staff for the purposes of identification.
A face covering is not the same as the surgical masks or respirators used by
healthcare and other workers as part of personal protective equipment. These
should continue to be reserved for those who need them to protect against
risks in their workplace, such as health and care workers, and those in
industrial settings, like those exposed to dust hazards.
Wearing a face covering is optional and is not required by the law. If you
choose to wear one, it is important to use face coverings
properly and wash your
hands before putting them on and after taking them off.
Consider making a list of items to take with you.
Check that your vehicle is safe and
roadworthy if you
haven’t used it for several weeks.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has brief but on-topic guidance. Needs more detail to be really helpful.
This is a very brief, vague advice to "follow local guidance" and only mentions when you finish your trip.
