Remember your last sudden stop while driving? How quickly your vehicle stops depends on numerous factors including speed, weight of the car, condition of the brakes and road condition. Are your brakes up to the winter road challenge?
Brakes operate in high temperatures under normal conditions, and months of summer heat only tax the system further.
Experts urge drivers to conduct a post-summer brake inspection to see how well your stopping system is holding up after months of intense weather.
Rough roads, under inflated tires and driving over the curb can all make your wheels fall out of alignment.
Not only does it make a car harder to drive, improper alignment wears out your tires faster and can reduce fuel economy.
An underinflated tire poses a safety risk and also wears out faster. Can you rely on tire warning lights in your dashboard? No really. Here's why.
Drivers throughout North America are already dusting off their snow chains. Technology has changed since the classic tire links were patented by Harry Weed in 1904.
See how the latest in tire traction can help keep your vehicle from sliding on snowy roads.
Brake lines enable that panicked emergency stop to end with a relieved sigh or nervous laughter instead of crumple and crunch.
The lines are integral but not indestructible, so routine inspections are crucial.
Tires tolerate a lot of stress, even on blistering summer roads. But they need a little nurturing to keep your family safe on all those upcoming road trips and weekend outings.
Tires don’t get much attention until something goes wrong--like sliding through an intersection during a heavy storm.
Yet, a few moments of attention can help prevent disaster. After all, tires are one of your vehicle's most important safety components.
Those bright bulbs in your headlights don’t help much if the plastic guarding them is cloudy and stained. Hazy lenses can dramatically reduce visibility, making night driving potentially hazardous.
Cameras similar to those worn by thrillseekers are finding their way to the dashboards of safety-conscious drivers.
“Dash cameras are helpful in hit-and-run collisions – or other situations where you’d want to get someone’s license plate,” said Johan-Till Broer of Garman, a Kansas-based electronics company that started making dash cameras this year.
