My car is my work tool. It has to be looked after and maintained to a high standard and I take this very seriously. Here are the checks I undertake on my car:

​

DAILY

​

Visual check of exterior for damage

Visual check of tyres for signs of damage

Brake operation

Steering operation

Wiper operation

Headlight, Taillight and indicator check

Internal and external mirror inspection

Seatbelt inspection

Windscreen inspection

​

WEEKLY

​

Tyre tread depth

Tyre inspection

Oil Level

Coolant level

Brake fluid level

Battery condition

Washer levels 

Horn operation

​

​

AS REQUIRED

​

Servicing in line with manufacturers guidelines

MOT when applicable

Air conditioning system

​

In addition to this, I always carry in my car:

​

First Aid Kit

Water

Warning Triangle

Mobile phone

Spare Tyre and Jack

Torch (Flashlight)

​

My tuition car is fitted with He-Man dual controls (an extra clutch and brake on the front passenger side) so I can intervene if necessary if I feel the learner is not handling a situation themselves. I also have an additional internal mirror for rear observation.
