Save time and money by checking your vehicle over. Make it a practice of checking to see if your vehicle registration and inspection are up to date.
Also start your vehicle from time to time, leaving it in park, turn on all your lights and walk around your vehicle checking to see if the lights are working properly and the sound is normal. These tips may prevent you from being stopped by the police and having to answer why these things are not current.
