Correct answer
Inspect and maintain the vehicle properly and repair defects.
Appropriate inspection and maintenance following the manufacturer’s schedule and repairing identified defects. Pay particular attention to tyres, brakes, steering, lights and safety components. Maintenance reduces risks but cannot guarantee that a fault will never occur. Lower speed may help manage a situation but does not replace repair; it is also wrong to regard all prevention as useless.
