Car ownership is both exhilarating and demanding. Driving is fun, but it is not without risk. Navigating the realm of car maintenance, insurance decisions, and road safety may be overwhelming, but it is essential to your safety and financial stability. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide, delving into the basics of maintaining vital car components, making informed insurance choices, and responding effectively in the unfortunate event of an accident.
Tyre Care:
The Cornerstone of Road Security
You’re cruising along and a tyre gives out – a scenario nobody wishes to face, but is, unfortunately, a likely reality for any car owner at some stage. Poorly maintained tyres contribute significantly to car accidents, and as with anything, prevention is better than cure.
Worn and damaged tyres increase the likelihood of accidents, but they also affect a car‘s handling ability, which makes driving uncomfortable. So, what can you do to keep them healthy?
Proper inspection is imperative to ensure tyres meet size, speed, and load ratings for your vehicle. Do your research when purchasing new tyres; consider factors such as rolling resistance, fuel consumption, grip and aquaplaning resistance.
