When I started driving I must admit I did not fully understand what, Fit to Drive meant. Most of the time, when I felt OK I would jump into the car and drive. I say the car because very much like many young people today that pass their driving test before their twentieth birthday, I did not have sufficient funds to buy a car, so I used my parents car whenever either of them were not using it.
Realising what kind of illness and what degree of feeling poorly that would deter someone getting into the driving seat of their car is surely an indivdual decision and this situation probably alters from person to person. Considering alternative transport for any journey most people find necessary to make, is possibly not an option they would consider and they would rather enjoy the comfort and security of their own car.
As a driver, do you ask yourself if you are fit, each time you plan a journey that would include the driving of a vehicle?
If you have the appropriate and current documentation including, driving licence, road fund licence, MOT and insurance then, all should be fine. Also to be considered is that although the renewal of any documents have been achieved by the due date reflection would be necessary to make sure that any material fact has been reported to either the insurance company or the relative organisation.
None of us would want an accident to occur but we also have to admit that life includes the unexpected and there are possible risks that we all have to live with. To reduce the costs and secure legal representation in the event of a traffic accident, insurance cover must be gained. During the time that an insurance policy is in force it is also important that any documents are also kept up to date. Should the driver receive points on their driving licence or attend an alternative driving course, the insurance company must be informed of this material fact to avoid losing cover in the event of a driving accident.
Before using any vehicle on the highways how is road and legal fitness determined?
But what does Vehicle Fitness mean? Let's have a look at some of the items we need to be knowledgeable about.
Fortunately today, new drivers have some basic knowledge about cars because during their driving lessons they will learn how to carry out a variety of routine safety checks and to be knowledgable about other motoring aspects. A Learner Driver attending for their driving test and would be invited to answer two questions from a list of nineteen, one Show Me question and one Tell Me question both selected by their Driving Standards Agency Driving Examiner. Many of the questions and corresponding answers deal with checks that car drivers would routinely carry out on a weekly basis together with a number of items to check if their car is fit for the road and to recognise if their vehicle needs attention by interpretating information displayed by warning lights in the instrument panel.
Some cars carry a small toolkit including small items e.g. spare fuses. Taking delivery of a new car even if this is a second hand one is usually creates a bit of excitement and during this time you will no doubt set about exploring what the array of switches operate. Under the bonnet check are made simple now that car manufacturers have colour coded those items that the driver should check. How often they should be checked will be found in the car handbook. It's all about familiarising yourself with your new car, seating, head restraint and steering adjustments. Finding the car jack and where the toolkit is located is probably one of the last things on your mind but it should be one of the first. Out on the open road you unfortunately have a puncture, yes you could phone for help but on this occasion you cannot get a signal on your phone. Not knowing where the toolkit is located or how to change a wheel places you in a vunerable situation. So, read you car handbook, if there isn't one in the car then contact the manufacturer, you can often download a handbook from their website or if not available, from specialist supplier who supply a whole variety of car handbooks via their website.
