For every type of drive,
whether a daily commute, a weekend trip, a holiday drive or just a plain cruise
to burn some boredom, checking your car before setting off is the most
important and the initial thing to do.
Ensuring that your car is
OK for the drive is a must to-do and prevents any later hassles during the
drive and makes every journey perfect.
Jumping in the car and
driving right away is easy but the troubles that could arise later from
otherwise easily avoidable circumstances would be a sad ending for your travel
plans and could leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.
There are a few
conventional vehicle checks that form the basis of every pre drive-inspection
that is the first step to pave a way for hassle free driving.
§ Be
sure you have the necessary tools
Punctures are common and
an easy self fix. But the need of the right gear to sort out the same is
imperative. Thus make sure that you have the jack and the wheel nut key that is
a handy to replace the punctured wheel with fresh spare. Oh, did I forget to
mention that you also need to ensure that the spare is in the car and optimum
for use.
§ Check
for any fluid leaks
When you start the engine
and roll the car from its parking space, do make it a habit to inspect the area
for any oil leaks and fluid spills that could indicate vehicle troubles and
make your car unsafe for the drive. This effortless habit could be a savior and
relieve all the hassles from unexpected engine failures and vehicle anomalies.
§ Always
check the car lights are properly functioning
You may be leaving early
in daylight but might return in darkness. Thus it is a must to check that the
headlights are properly functioning and safe for use. Also check for interior lighting's, wipers and turn indicators to absolutely clear away all the doubts.
Check for the dash lights and ensure that the gauges indicate everything is
fine and optimum for driving.
A self drive car you avail is best prepped for any
journey and thoroughly inspected for any possible anomalies. However one must
make it a daily habit to look out for essential vehicle aspects for being 100%
prepared for the journey.
§ Checking
the tyre pressure
You don’t need to use a
barometer for checking the tyre pressure every time you go driving. But one
must visually observe the same for identifying if all the tyres are optimally
fit. If one of the four is lacking the right pressure, then you can halt at the
nearest gas station to sort it out in a couple of minutes.
§ Check
the AC system
This might not be
essential but to ease you of the hassles from a faulty air conditioning unit,
do remember to check it before every drive to ensure that you have a constant
supply of fresh and cool air to make your drive enjoyable and pleasant.
