Do you know what day it is?

They invented the Check List.
So important was the idea that 30 October is now recognised as international
#ChecklistDay.
Lots of people now use the idea to save on costly mishaps at work but often
forget the personal things - like their cars.
To stay safe and mobile every driver should carry out regular checks on their
vehicle to stay roadworthy. Every week you should check:
Tyres
- to make sure they are still legal and properly inflated. Loss of tread,
cracks or bulges in the tyre wall can be catastrophic while low pressure uses
more fuel.
Lights
- Make sure all your lights are working properly, especially now that it
gets dark earlier. It's easy to miss a blown bulb and end up being stopped by
police or having an accident.
Oil
- Always check the oil level regularly to avoid an expensive breakdown.
Brakes
- Worn or broken brakes can be fatal. Make sure you get them
examined the fist sign of any change in performance or wear and tear.
Coolant
- It is important to keep your engine cool so always make sure the
coolant level is topped up and add some anti-freeze when the weather starts
getting colder.
Windscreen washers
- Make sure the jets are free from blockages and the
reservoir is always filled up, and use screen wash with built in anti-freeze in
the winter. If you can't see out of a dirty windscreen you are risking a serious
accident.
