On average, your tires have a life expectancy between about 25,000 and 50,000 miles. If your tires go past this, they can become too thin and the tread will become worn. When this happens, it is easier for tires to slip on the road, take longer to brake, or make it difficult for you to control your vehicle well. Tire blowouts are also a big contributor to accidents. A tire can blowout if it is over-inflated or under-inflated. Sudden weather changes such as extreme heat or freezing can cause a tire blowout as well. When a tire blows out, it can drastically take away your ability to control your vehicle.
Headlights and taillights are extremely necessary for driving. At night, your headlights are a vital part of your ability to see where you are going, as well as others being able to see you. When one or both of your headlights go out, the chances of you hitting something that you may not be able to see. Your taillights are important in the day and night. Your taillights are your signal to the people driving behind you that you are slowing down or stopping. Without that signal, people will not know that you are coming to a stop, and will hit you from behind.
There are three ways that brakes can cause an accident, which, according to the crash stats report, cause 22% of the accidents that we see.
Regular maintenance on your entire brake system is important to prevent accidents.
If it doesn’t rain regularly in your city, it could be very easy to forget about your windshield wipers, but maintenance on your wiper blades is very important. When your wipers become worn down, or dry out, they don’t work properly. The goal is for your wipers to clear the rain and debris from your windshield so you can see clearly. When those are not working properly your vision will become impaired and can cause an accident. You should check your wipers frequently and replace them about every 6 months, or sooner, if there is any tear in them.
When you feel your wheel shaking or feel like your wheel is being pulled to the left or the right, it is time to get your vehicle serviced. This is a sign that your steering or suspension is off, which makes it hard to control your vehicle properly.
