Basic vehicle maintenance
A well-maintained vehicle is safer and less likely to fail at a critical moment. The G1 test expects you to know the basic checks that keep a vehicle roadworthy.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Keep tyres properly inflated and replace them when the tread is worn.
- ◆ Have your brakes checked regularly and act on any unusual noise or pull.
- ◆ Make sure all lights, signals, and the horn work before driving.
- ◆ Keep your windshield, mirrors, and washer fluid clear for good visibility.
- ◆ A poorly maintained vehicle can fail a safety standards inspection.
