Vehicle Safety
It is essential at any age, but particularly important
for older adults, to operate and maintain a safe motor
vehicle. On a regular basis, monitor the following to
help safely maintain your vehicle:
r Check the tire
pressure of all
tires, including
the spare to make
sure they are at
the recommended
pressure stated
in the owner’s
manual.
r Check tire tread by inserting a quarter into the tire
tread with Washington’s head toward the tire. If no
portion of his head is covered, the tread is below
1/8 of an inch and should be replaced soon.
