- If you are a new driver, it is important that you keep up with car maintenance and inspections. By doing so, you allow your car to last longer before needing repairs and help to avoid major disasters occurring while on the road. Here are some of the more basic maintenance tasks to be sure you do. Inspect the Tyres Regularly For new drivers, tyres are often overlooked until suddenly you are skidding on wet ground due to lack of tread or when you blow out a tyre while on the highway.
- Normally your everyday mode of transportation proves to be quite reliable, but every now and again your car can cause some major disruption. For example, if you've ever suffered a puncture before, you know how much time and effort is involved to put it right. Somebody always seems to have tightened the wheel nuts too aggressively to actually get the wheel off, or you need to wait around for help to arrive.
- If you have found that you are filling up your tyres with air more often, it might be due to a leak. It would be nice if you found a nail or other object stuck in the tyre, as it makes it very obvious where the leak is coming from. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Using your senses can help you find the leak so you are able to patch it up instead of having to get a brand new tyre.
