Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check the tread depth on your tires regularly. Ensure your tires are properly inflated. Inspect your serpentine or accessory belts for signs of damage. Check your oil level regularly. Ensure your vehicle has enough coolant and brake fluid. Test your headlights, tail lights and turn signals. Take immediate action if you see a dashboard warning light. Keep your vehicle battery clean and secure.

Answer: Tires come in many shapes and sizes, and depending on the application, the type and depth of the tread can vary.  Most tires now come with tread wear lines that cross the tire perpendicular to the grooves of the tread.  Once the tread wears down to the point that the tread wear lines are even with the tread, your tires need to be replaced.  Another common method to check tread wear is to press an upside down penny into the groove between treads.  If you can see all of Abraham Lincoln’s head, the tread is too worn down. Driving on tires with treads that are too worn can result in blowing out a tire or losing traction in the rain. Your tires were designed to operate with a specific amount of air pressure inside them.  Driving on tires that are underinflated can do damage to the sidewalls of the tires, causing them to rupture and deflate.  Look on the side of the tire on your vehicle for the maximum pressure rating for the tire, then fill it to match.  Place a tire gauge on the tire’s valve stem to see if the tires require air, then use an air compressor to inflate your tires if need be.  Under inflated tires can also dramatically reduce your gas mileage, as the vehicle works harder to propel you on soft tires. Over inflated tires can also be more prone to blow outs and will reduce the life span of your tire. Your engine powers its accessories like the power steering pump, air conditioning and alternator using belts driven by the crank pulley.  These belts can wear out or become damaged if a pulley goes bad or they rub on something in the engine bay.  Visually inspect these belts for signs of cracking, rubbing or other damage.  If the belt appears to be damaged, it must be replaced.  If your vehicle is equipped with a timing belt, it could cause significant damage to your engine if it breaks. If you notice signs of rubbing, you will need to move what was rubbing it when you replace the belt to ensure it doesn’t occur again. To check your oil, locate the dipstick in your vehicle.  The top of a dipstick is often bright yellow and easily identified, but if you have trouble finding it, refer to the owner’s manual for your vehicle.  Pull the dipstick out and wipe off the oil on it.  Look at the clean dipstick so you can easily identify the full line, then slide it back into the engine.  Remove it once more and look at the level the oil reaches on the stick.  If your dipstick has multiple lines, the top one indicates “full” and each line below it represents a quart of oil that needs to be added. If your oil levels are low, it may be because of an oil leak.  Fill it back up and check it frequently to determine if there is an issue with oil leaking or burning in your vehicle. Under the hood you will find both a coolant and a brake fluid reservoir.  These plastic containers will have lines in them that represent how much fluid should be in each.  If they are below the full line, you should top them off to ensure your vehicle never runs without either.  Refer to your owner’s manual to help you identify the reservoirs and choose the proper fluid to replace them with, per the manufacturer’s recommendations.  Coolant travels through your engine to help regulate engine temperatures. Your vehicle uses brake fluid to engage the brakes when you press on the pedal.  Low brake fluid could cause your vehicle to brake erratically or fail to brake at all. Your headlights are essential to seeing at night and your tail lights and turn signals help ensure other drivers see you and understand your intentions.  It’s important that all of these lights are functioning properly at all times.  Have a friend stand outside of your car as you test each light to ensure they are working.   Replace any lights that blow out as soon as possible. If one of your turn signals begins to flash faster than normal, it is likely because the coinciding turn signal on the other end of the vehicle has blown out. Most vehicles come equipped with a number of warning lights that can let you know if there is an issue that needs to be addressed.  These symbols are fairly universal regardless of auto maker and can warn you about things like low tire pressure, excessive engine temperature or an issue with your anti-lock brake system.  Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to see each symbol and what it represents so you can take the proper action when a light comes on.  If a light comes on that you are unsure of, pull over and turn off the vehicle until you are able to identify the issue. If you do not have an owner’s manual, try referring to the auto maker’s website or a site like http://dashboardsymbols.com/the-symbols Most modern automotive batteries require very little maintenance, but you can prolong the life of your battery with a few simple steps.  Make sure the terminals of the battery are clean and free from corrosion and check to ensure the strap securing the battery is tight.  Some batteries may require that you check the fluid levels in the battery and add to it if need be.  The vibrations caused by an unsecured battery can reduce the lifespan of the battery. Make sure the terminals are free of corrosion to ensure a proper connection.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: File an insurance claim. Consider hiring a lawyer. Document medical treatment. Keep track of pain and suffering and lost wages. Get an insurance company damage valuation. Protect yourself from insurance companies.

Answer: Immediately report the car accident to your insurance company. Also provide the insurance company with information on the other driver. Immediately filing a claim will speed up the process of getting your car repaired and securing a rental vehicle, if necessary. Do not lie when stating the facts of the accident, as this can result in denial of your coverage. The other driver may suggest not filing claims in the event of a small accident, as filing a claim will raise your rates. However, it is always a good idea to file a claim to protect yourself. The other driver may later change his mind and file a claim, even claiming injuries that weren’t apparent at the time of the accident. You want to be sure your insurance company has your version of the accident as soon as possible. Particularly if anyone was hurt in the accident, hiring a lawyer is a good idea. A lawyer can help you maximize your reward if you have been injured, or defend you if the other motorist was injured. Keep records of any hospital visits, tests, prescriptions or other expenses that arise as a result of your auto accident. This information will be needed by your insurance company and attorney. If the accident impacts your life to the extent that you decide to file a personal injury suit, you can claim damages for mental and physical distress and/or lost wages, as well as medical treatment. Keep a diary of how the injuries impact your life, including missed workdays, routine activities you cannot undertake, and changes to you family life. This will determine how much your company, or the other motorist's company if they were at fault, is willing to pay to replace or fix your car. If you think the number is too low, get your own independent estimates, and then discuss them with your adjuster. Certainly the other motorist’s company, and perhaps your own, may not have your best interests at heart.  If the other motorist’s insurance company calls you, politely refuse to discuss the accident with them and mention the call to your own insurance company or lawyer. If your company offers you an early settlement, do not sign it until you are sure you will be compensated for all your injuries. Some injuries – particularly back and neck ones caused by whiplash – might not show up or reach their maximum level of pain until weeks or even months after the accident.
