CHECKING YOUR CAR NOW SPRING IS HERE
NOW
Spring is here, many motorists will be heading out onto the country's highways again - and to make sure you get there, you will need to ensure your car is in tip-top condition.
With this in mind, here are some useful tips to ensure a pleasant journey.
1. Check your vehicle is regularly serviced, consult your service book. It can be all too easy to overlook the correct service date.
2. Do not fill the fuel tank to the brim on especially hot days. As with most liquids fuel will expand.
3. Check your oil and water levels. If you are running low, top these up. Carry a spare bottle of water or carton of oil in your car.
4. Tyre conditions should be checked, including that of the spare, assessing tyre pressure and legal tread depth.
5. Check front and rear wiper blades for wear or splitting. Do check windscreen washers making sure that they are adjusted correctly. Screen wash additive is also recommended.
6. Inspect car keys for wear and condition. Replace if necessary, Remember, a worn key will quickly wear out a lock barrel causing the lock to jam. Make sure you have a spare set of keys for your car in a safe place.
7. Listen to radio reports of any delays or road closures. Some relaxing music to listen to can help take the stress out of traffic hold-ups.
8. Take something to eat and drink, just in case you are unlucky enough to get caught in any traffic congestion.
9. Make sure you packed your sunglasses as they are worn when driving for more time throughout the year than any other activity, work related or sport.
10. Make sure you have a phonecard or some small change for use in any emergency where a mobile phone wouldn't be available.
Drivers should have their cars checked after the wear and tear of winter. Even if you think your car is in good shape, it's best to check to make sure you reach your destination. |
