Car Safety Tips: TWIRL Check

Tyres:

• Check the tread depth. Minimum legal depth is 1.5mm but the more tread you have the better the grip and the safer you'll be.
• Check the tyre pressure-correct levels can usually be found on the inside door frame.
• Look for cracks or bubbles in the sides.
• Look for sharp objects stuck in the tyres. 

Windscreen, Wipers and Mirrors:

• Check your wiper blades for wear and tear.
• Clean your mirrors and windscreen inside and out.
• Get your windscreen fixed if it's chipped or cracked.
• Check your windscreeen washer fluid is and the spray is working.

Indicators:

• Turn your hazard lights on and walk around the car-check all indicators are flashing.

Rust:

• Look for obvious areas of corrosion that can weaken the car's structure.

Lights:

• Check lenses are clean and not cracked or hazy.
• Check your headlights,reversing lights and brake lights are working. Check your back lights by reversing close to a wall so you can see the reflection in your rear view mirror.
