1. **Importance of Safety**: Vehicle inspections greatly enhance safety by ensuring that all critical
systems are functioning properly, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by mechanical
failures.
2. **Trip Checks**: In addition to gauges, senses, and critical items upon stopping, it's good practice to
check for weather conditions, road closures, and traffic updates before and during your trip.
3. **Steering System Parts**: Regular checks of these parts can prevent dangerous situations that stem
from steering failures.
4. **Suspension Defects**: Loose or broken suspension components can lead to loss of control,
particularly when navigating curves or rough terrain.
5. **Emergency Equipment**: It's also wise to have a first-aid kit and roadside assistance kit in addition
to the three items you listed.
6. **Tread Depth**: Maintaining proper tread depth is essential for traction, especially in wet or icy
conditions.
7. **Walk-around Inspection**: Don’t forget to also check the tires for damage, appropriate inflation,
and overall condition as part of your walk-around.
8. **Wheel Bearing Seals**: A leak can indicate that the bearings are not being properly lubricated,
leading to potential failure.
9. **Reflective Triangles**: Placement of your warning devices is critical for the safety of yourself and
other road users.

hydraulic system.
