Correct answer
Yes, if the vehicle is maintained correctly.
A driver can significantly reduce the probability of accidents caused by the "vehicle factor" through the proper and regular maintenance of the vehicle. This includes checking and ensuring the correct functioning of crucial systems such as the brakes, steering, lights, tyres, and engine. Keeping the vehicle in good condition not only improves its performance and reliability but also increases driving safety. A well-maintained vehicle is less prone to breakdowns or mechanical failures that could lead to dangerous situations on the road.
