Young Drivers Urged To Learn Basic Car Maintenance

A survey recently carried out on behalf of Direct Line Car Insurance found that high percentages of young drivers are unable to perform simple car maintenance tasks such as jump starting a car, replacing tyres, checking oil and break fluid levels or changing indicator or headlight bulbs. The figures are surprising given the recent addition of the car maintenance section to the practical driving test. Older drivers according to the same survey are more likely to be able to cope with basic car maintenance compared to their young driver counterparts. The cost of not being able to do basic car maintenance is two fold, firstly, there is the additional monetary cost in terms of paying mechanics and the second issue, is the vehicle safe to be on the road which has implications for pedestrians and motorists and the validity of the car insurance policy.
