Safety Issues to Consider
TiresPerhaps it is time to consider replacing them, if the tread is less than fifty percent because tire blowouts are no fun.
HeadlightsThey do burn out, sometimes causing crashes, so replacing them on your own is a good idea.
Seat beltsThese do sometimes wear thin, or actually break, so replace them if needed.
OilTop off before going in, but be sure to mop up any spills that could cause smoking.
BrakesIf these start to squeak at all, it's time for a trip to the shop so that your fellow drivers don't get hit because you can't stop.
MufflerContrary to popular belief, driving around with a hole in the muffler is not safe, and will not pass an inspection.
