A car accident can completely change the lives of any victims involved, and although some incidents are completely unforeseeable, motorists can reduce the risk of becoming involved in a road accident by ensuring that their vehicle is properly maintained.
Lights
It is important that drivers frequently check that all of the lights on their vehicle are in good working order. Headlights and rear lights not only make the highway clearer for the driver, but ensure that the vehicle is visible to other road users in the dark, such as at night and in tunnels. Furthermore, break lights and reverse lights warn other road users as to when a vehicle is slowing down or about to move backwards.
Tyres
Motorists should check their tyre pressure on a regular basis, this will not only improve the safety of the vehicle, but can also help to extend the lives of the tyres and maintain fuel efficiency. Tyres which are under-inflated may overheat and over-inflated tyres can result in poor vehicle handling on the road.
Windscreen wipers
All cars should be fitted with good quality wiper blades on both the windscreen and the rear window. These improve visibility for the driver in wet weather conditions and if a windscreen wiper stops working properly, the driver should replace it as soon as possible.
Washer fluid and oil
Dirty windscreens are hazardous as they limit visibility for the driver, therefore it is vital that motorists frequently top up their washer fluid so that they are able to clear their windscreens whenever necessary.
Oil levels should also be checked regularly. Low oil level can cause a car's internal engine components to wear more quickly. This can be prevented by replacing the oil, usually every 12 months for high-mileage vehicles, or less for low-mileage cars.
