Tire Inflation
Driving on any tire that does not have the correct inflation pressure is dangerous and can make it harder to steer and stop your vehicle. Make sure you check your tire's air pressure on a regular basis.
Weather Conditions
As little as 1/8 of an inch of water on the roadway at highway speeds can cause your vehicle to hydroplane. Make sure your driving speed is appropriate for the weather conditions and that you have adequate tire tread depth to avoid loss of control.
Flat Tire
If you have a tire problem, make sure you get your vehicle off the roadway before you attempt any solution. If your tire has gone flat, there is a good chance that it's already ruined, so drive slowly for some distance to find a safe stopping place. Your safety is more important than any tire.
Radiator
Your vehicle needs to stay cool in the heat of the summer too. Make sure you have the proper mix of radiator coolant and that you check those belts and hoses to keep you and your vehicle from overheating this summer.
Warning Lights
Don't ignore 3 important warning lights on your vehicle. The service engine soon light probably means your vehicle is due to have the engine oil changed. The check engine light means as soon as possible but when the temperature light comes on, you should pullover and turn the engine off now and call for help.
Shock Absorber
A worn or leaking shock absorber or strut can add 30 feet of braking distance to bring a vehicle to a complete stop at 55 miles per hour. So be sure you have them checked on a regular basis.
Clear View
Make sure you have a clear view of the road. Check those wiper blades before it starts raining or snowing. Clear that windshield of frost, ice or snow before you pull away. Those around you are counting on the driver having a clear view of the road.
Headlights & Signals
10% of the vehicles on the road have one or more lights not working. It is important that your headlights show you the way but it is equally important that everyone around you can see you and know where you are going. Check all exterior light bulbs monthly!
