YOU STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD
MAKING SURE By Lim Han Jin
Travelling by car is one of the most convenient ways to travel and with superb highways in most countries, also one of the safest ways to enjoy countryside views. BUT accidents can and do happen and these are caused by carelessly maintained vehicles or driver distractions. Sometimes car accidents can be caused by dirty wandering spirits and we call this the supernatural factor. There are any number of stories about drivers seeing things and then CRASHING!! Accidents like these are often fatal. Some even hurt innocent bystanders. Here are some things you can do to ensure you drive safe while on the road, and that you arrive safe.
Maintain Your Tyres Proper vehicle maintenance is important so tour car can respond to driver inputs correctly and predictably. Te first thing we look at are the tyres. Tey should have a good amount of threads left as these help to dissipate water in the wet. If your car tyres need replacing, and you are replacing only two tyres, place the new tyres at the back. Tis will avoid the back wheels kicking out when you dive into a corner in the wet.

Always Check Tyre Pressure It is best to use the manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressure as they have tested it extensively with all various pressures and found the best setup for the car. Tyres should not be more than 5 years old because over time, the rubber hardens and loses its grip on the road.
