Investigate the Reason for Everything
Some pitfalls for the beginner
Fire risk petrol is highly flammable
Petrol car do go up in flames, diesel are less likely but the waxy fuel means tarmac roads nee to be redone after a spill.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are generally less prone to fires than petrol or diesel vehicles. While the media might highlight EV fires, statistics show that petrol and diesel cars experience fires more frequently. Hybrid vehicles, which combine both petrol/diesel and electric powertrains, are often cited as having the highest fire risk
Smelly exhaust
Ever stood near the road when an engine gives out clouds of toxic smoke? Even the quiet ones constantly pollute the streets. Only electric vehicles fail this test.
A young girl, Ella Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, died from an asthma attack in 2013, and her death was later linked to air pollution, specifically from traffic emissions. This landmark case was the first time air pollution was officially recognized as a cause of death in the UK. Ella lived near a busy road, and her asthma attacks were strongly correlated with spikes in nitrogen dioxide and PM10 levels.
Tested vehicles
Buy from a trusted seller with a test of roadworthiness certificate. It will give you peace of mind, not to mention your parents!!
The most common reason for MOT failures is issues with lights and signals, accounting for approximately 30% of all failures. Specifically, this includes problems with headlights, brake lights, indicators, and registration plate lights. Other frequently cited reasons for MOT failures include suspension, brakes, and tyres.
First time drivers
The most common reason for a first traffic accident is distracted driving, closely followed by speeding and driving under the influence. Distractions, such as using a mobile phone, can take a driver's attention away from the road, increasing the risk of a collision. Speeding reduces reaction time and increases the severity of accidents. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs impairs judgment and coordination, making accidents more likely.
