Safety Checklist On Your Car Before Hitting The Road

Headlights And Taillights

Having these two properly working is important so that you can be seen by other motorists on the road even in the most limited visibility condition. That is, if you don’t want to be a part of a crash statistics.  

AC Air Flow

We can’t do anything about the hot weather. However, there’s something we can definitely do to make driving more comfortable during such times which is turn the AC unit. So better make sure it’s blowing out perfectly.

Tires

How many times had there been an accident due to under inflated or worn tires? It causes 11, 000 crashes and 200 deaths annually according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Always do personal inspection before every ride.

Filters

The reason why there are filters is to filter air impurities. If that’s dirty or isn’t functioning then you’d be risking an engine trouble and reduced air quality.

Fluid Level

It’d be better if you check your fluid level and oil level early so you can take it to oil change shops before you hit critical level. This should prevent any hassle when you’re already on the road.

 Battery

Whether its winter or summer season, trying to fix a dead battery in the middle of nowhere can be frustrating. But why let yourself end up in that situation when it’s something that can be easily prevented?

Vehicle Preparedness

A car has to have important tools or items necessary during car related emergencies at all times. These things should go in your compartment before anything else.

 Your Patience

You cannot predict what will happen on the road no matter how much you prepare. But you’ll be able to overcome any traffic, car trouble, or irritating drivers if you keep your cool and stay focused on driving carefully and defensively.
