When you enter the road, it is imperative that the vehicle is in good working order. Any malfunction of the vehicle can lead to unpredictable consequences on the road.
A car is a means of increased danger. If you drive onto the road in a faulty vehicle, this creates a dangerous situation not only for yourself, but also for the rest of the road users.
To ensure that your vehicle is in good working order, take 10 minutes before driving out and check the following:
1. Turn on the turn signals. Both left and right signals should flash on the corresponding side. If the machine is equipped with repeaters of turns, they must also function.
2. Check if the low beam headlights are on? High beam? Low beam headlights according to current legislation must be kept on all the time when driving, the high beam can also be useful to you.
3. If you are driving out with someone, ask them to step back and tell them if the brake lights and reversing lights are on. Check it out consistently.
4. Turn on the side lights. Are they working properly?
If any of the above does not work, or does not function properly, take this into account when driving. If the turn signals do not work, you will have to give the appropriate signals with your hands. The vehicle stop signal can also be given by hand. But if the dipped beam headlights do not work, then the trip will most likely have to be abandoned, since you will automatically violate the traffic rules by leaving without the dipped beam.
Having devoted 10 minutes to checking the technical condition of your car, you will be sure that you are leaving in a completely serviceable car. This is a guarantee of the safety of both yours and other road users.
