Correct answer
can be prevented with proper vehicle inspection and maintenance.
Traffic accidents caused by mechanical failures can largely be prevented through proper vehicle maintenance. This maintenance involves carrying out regular checks and following the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that all vehicle components work correctly. By keeping critical components such as the brakes, tyres, lights, steering, suspension and safety systems in good condition, the likelihood of an accident caused by mechanical problems is significantly reduced. Preventive vehicle maintenance is essential to ensure your safety and that of other road users. This includes carrying out regular inspections, changing the oil and filters as recommended by the manufacturer, checking the condition of the tyres, maintaining the correct fluid levels and repairing any mechanical problem detected without delay.
