How safe is your car?

Do this little test and find out what you
need to do, to reduce the risk of being involved
in a crash.

1 Tire Check:
a) You check your tire pressure at least every 3 months
and do a regular visual inspection of tire shape and treads,
you replace tires older then 4 years.
b) You replace your tires when they are worn and leave it
to your dealer to check tire pressure.
c) You never wonder about tires until the dealer mentions something.

2 Punctured tires:
a) If a tire is punctured I have it fixed.
b) If a tire is punctured I replace it.
c) If a tire is puntured, I replace the Front or Rear pair it belonged to.

3 Schock absorbers:
a) As we all know these last for the life of a car.
b) You replace shocks when your dealer recommends it.
c) You replace GAS shocks every 60000 miles and oil shocks every 40000 miles
even if they seem to be OK.

4 Brakes:
a) Your dealer takes care of these.
b) When they squeak you buy new pads, when warped your dealer fixes them.
c) You change your brake fluid every 2 years, pads when worn and discs when
they are warped or if they have much rust on the endges that tends to come off.

5 Lights:
a) You replace bulbs as needed.
b) You only replace bulbs when there's no other way.
c) You have your light beams checked once a year and keep all lights in order.

6) Steering & Bearings:
a) Dealer looks at that.
b) These alst forever.
c) You have these checked once a year by your mech.

7) Wipers:
a) You replace the blades each spring.
b) You replace them when they quit working.
c) You never replace these.

8) Silent Blocks:
a) Your mech takes care of these.
b) These don't need any work anyways.
c) Once every 2 years your mech and you have a look at them to see if they're cracked
or worn down.

Points: 1: a3,b1,c0 2: a0,b1,c3 3: a0,b1,c3 4: a0,b1,c3 5: a1,b0,c3 6: a1,b0,c3 7: a3,b1,c0 8: a1,b0,c3

0 Points: Your car is unfit for high speed driving and it could be a road hazard.
8 Points or more: Your car is in a average shape and not for Autobahn use.
18 Points or more: Your car is in a good shape it seems.
24 Points: You don't cut corners when it comes to your safety!

This this test is not scientific, in fact if your dealer is good
your car is probably fine, but you might wana ask him about what
he does.

Regards,
Coolknight

P.S. Safety also comes down to your driving! Drive Safely!
