Before hitting the road, it is essential to check the condition of your car to ensure your safety, as well as that of other users. The Dordogne gendarmerie gives some simple but effective advice to follow.
Check your lights
Make sure your lights are in good condition and properly aimed. According to the Dordogne gendarmerie, polished and correctly adjusted lights allow the road to be better illuminated without dazzling other drivers. This ensures safer driving, especially at night or in bad weather.
Check your tires
Another crucial point: the condition of your tires. Check that the wear indicator is correct and that the minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm. Proper pressure in each tire is also important for stable driving and optimized fuel consumption.
Beware of animals
For those who have four-legged companions, the gendarmerie reminds not to forget animals, particularly cats, which may be attracted to the heat of your vehicle. Before closing the doors, check the interior carefully to avoid any incidents.
