This can be avoided by always keeping your tire pressure at its correct settings and ensuring that your tires are always in good shape.

Brakes are also a top reason for accidents due to mechanical failure. This can be avoided with good vehicle maintenance. If your car is badly maintained, brake failure can occur. Total brake failure will hinder you from stopping completely and can be extremely dangerous. A brake problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible to avoid these situations from happening.

Making sure that your vehicle’s headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turning signals are always working can help avoid accidents. When your headlights or brake lights are out, other drives on the road will not be able to detect what your vehicle is doing and if you have to slam on your brakes with no brake lights, the car behind you will not be warned.
