Buying a safe vehicle for your family is important. There are many factors that you must consider. There are Kelly Blue Book ratings that can help you to know what each vehicle rates at. It’s a helpful site. Test driving can help you to get the “feel” for how a vehicle takes turns, starts, stops.
When I look for safety in vehicles for my family, I often check the tires first. I have only owned two brand new vehicles in my life and they were really nice. Because of this, I always check tires on new (used) rides as we test drive. I check the tread on them and also I like to check to see if they are the same brand.
Recently, we bought a used vehicle for my hubby and since I wasn’t the main driver, I didn’t really inspect it like I would my own. We were driving down the road and heard a loud noise…I figured it must be a low tire, or flat tire. It was odd. Thankfully my dad was in the car and suggested that we pull over. We found that the lug nuts were not tightened on the front wheel and it was barefly hanging on. SCARY stuff.
