·         Regularly check oil: Checking your oil regularly isn’t just good for the health and longevity of your car, it can help you avoid a dangerous situation. If you neglect your oil levels completely and your engine runs bone dry you could suffer a flair up and a car fire while driving. An extremely dangerous situation you’ll want to avoid. 

·         Regularly test brakes and check fluid: A car without brakes  is nothing but a high speed projectile ready to cause mayhem. Always make sure your fluid is topped off and test your brakes every once in a while to make sure they’re working the way they should.

·         Check Lights. This one’s easy to forget because you might not notice if all of your lights are working properly. Every so often, before you leave, turn on your lights and step out of the car to check
