5 Things to Do to Ensure Your Car is Safe to Drive

/

No matter what the cause of a car accident may be, the effects can be damaging for all people involved, especially victims. Unfortunately, many vehicle accidents occur when drivers and owners of vehicles do not ensure their vehicles are one-hundred percent safe to drive. Because improper vehicle maintenance is avoidable, drivers who fail to properly care for their vehicles can be held liable if such negligence causes another individual to suffer serious injuries in a car accident.

To help you ensure your car is safe to drive, our Memphis car accident lawyers have listed 5 things you may want to consider doing:

1.Check all tires to ensure they are not cracked, overly worn, warped, or deflated. A tire blow out or flat can cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle, putting others in harm’s way.

2.Ensure both taillights, headlights, and fog lamps function properly. Failure to do so can cause a car accident if other drivers are unable to see your vehicle.

3.Be sure to check brakes and rotors to ensure they function properly. If a vehicle is unable to stop in an adequate amount of time due to faulty or damaged brakes or rotors, the effects of a vehicle collision can be detrimental.

4.Check to see that your windshield wipers work properly and are not cracked. A driver should be able to see through his windshield at all times, regardless of the weather conditions. Failure to ensure windshield wipers are working correctly can lead to serious damages if a driver is unable to see other drivers, pedestrians, or bicyclists.

5.Take your vehicle to a trusted mechanic for a full inspection. An experienced, trust-worthy mechanic can examine every inch of your car to ensure it is safe to drive and free of any potential dangers.
