Because it allows you to check your brake pads which if worn arnt as effective and therefore less safe when stopping, or your tyre tread depth which when worn decreased grip and if driving on a wet road can become clogged with water rather than dispersing the water like it is meant to further reducing grip ans can cause you to skid to even seeing if your lights work because a car without working lights is fine in the day but as soon as its darker or the weather changes it is highly dangerous and can end up with a police fine.

In my opinion, the seatbelt. Without it, a casualty rate due to car accidents would increase dramatically. Seatbelts are an extremely important safety feature in a car. Buckle up!

Getting regular oil changes, replacing things like spark plugs, fuel filters and belts will help you get better gas mileage and make for less chance of major repairs and breakdowns under the hood.
