Safety Check For Your Car

When your life is at stake, you are not allowed to make a mistake (Rhyme intended). We are witnesses that for the past several years number of car accidents is increasing. There is a factor of careless drivers, but also, car malfunctions are the cause. To avoid putting your and your passengers’ lives at risk, go through this list, and see what you can do to improve your car’s safety.

Engine

Stalled engine will leave you stranded, so you will want to pay attention to this most important part of your car. Regular check of oil level is something you can do by yourself, as well as the level of water in the coolant. For more thorough check, you will need to pay a visit to the mechanic, and he can provide you with more details. Regular service is a must, so at average 15.000 km passed, or once a year, depending on your driving way, you should check upon this.

Airbags

One of the modern utilities, this device activates when a car hits something, or is being hit. As its name suggests, automated bags filled with air activate upon impact, preventing passenger to hit chassis or a windshield. Keeping those in order is the first line of defense against potential fatal injuries. This is literally a lifesaver, so don’t overlook it.

Seatbelt

Device made to keep you strapped to the seat, it is often neglected. Not just it needs to hold its place, and not to allow passenger to fall out, but also to work properly, so in a case of emergency you can unhook it fast. In simple words, “it needs to be strong, and to let go fast”.

Tyres

No one can predict flat or burst tyre, no argue about that, but you need to do everything you can, in order to prevent this happening. Regular pressure check and tyres fit for current weather conditions are good base to start upon. If by any chance, you notice that something is not in order, visit the first shop, and replace your tyre there. Or, if you are keen and skilled, you can order tyres online. Tyreright can provide you with great selection, and they also offer great advice.

Lights

See and being seen is something you need to look upon. If your headlight dies out at daytime, it is not much of a fuss. But at night, it is completely a different story. Be sure that you have a set of spare bulbs in your car, so you can replace it, if one goes out. But, if you are less lucky, and replacing of a headlight is a bit tricky, sit tight, and call for a service. It may be a bit pricey, but it is your safety after all.

To summarize, neglect nothing. Keeping your car in top condition may save your life. It doesn’t mean that you can drive recklessly, for safe and responsible driving can and will keep others safe. Combine these two approaches, and you might just save a life.
