Women's car insurance warning
22 Feb 05
Women drivers have been warned to brush up basic car maintenance.
While women drivers have fewer prangs and get cheaper car insurance as a result, a survey out this week showed that a third of women don't check their own tyres.
Tyre treads and oil levels are key aspects of road safety.
Brake, the road safety group that conducted the research, said the results were worrying.
"It's shocking that so many drivers, particularly women, are failing to take responsibility for the safety of their vehicles, and putting other road users at risk," said Mary Williams, chief executive of Brake. "Women are known to be safer drivers than men, but this survey shows there is no room for complacency."
"Regular, simple checks of tyres, lights, oil and water could save a life and should be a matter of priority for all drivers."
