But which have a greater appeal, such as the billboards installed in Belém do Pará, with the following phrases: “Have you been drinking and driving? Crowded church in seven days!” and “Have you been drinking and driving? It will look beautiful with a flower crown!” Some NGOs have also supported advertising campaigns to reduce the number of accidents, as is the case of the NGO Trânsito Amigo , which brought the slogan “killing in traffic is also a crime”, accompanied by a photo of two injured people holding a license plate with the name of the people involved in an accident and the year of the incident. The involvement of society and authorities to reduce the number of accidents is of fundamental importance for all campaigns created to be effective. For some reason, we always have the impression that an accident is far from happening to us and we neglect simple but life-saving measures. Thinking that that used tire can “hold on” a little longer, that you don’t have to worry so much about checking the car’s fluids, or that you can type or talk on the phone while driving.
These and other habits must be swept out of our minds, as no amount of money/time saved by suppressing preventive action measures is more worthwhile than traveling safely. Why is preventive maintenance important? Preventive maintenance is important as it reduces the chances of the driver being involved in an accident due to the natural wear and tear of your vehicle's components. Furthermore, preventive maintenance is cheaper than corrective maintenance. To illustrate, let's take the oil and filter change as an example. The Lithuania Phone Number manufacturer of your car studied the relationship between the durability of engine components and the time of use of the oil and filter and discovered the following: as time passes without the proper oil and filter changes being made, the durability of the engine is reduced. With this, he stipulated the period in which these items must be changed to maximize the useful life of your engine, which is the most expensive part of the car and, consequently, the one we want to keep for the longest time. If you decide to save money on changing the oil/filter, you will save around R$150 to R$250.
However, the metallic particles suspended in your car's engine fluid, which the old filter can no longer retain, will come into contact with the moving parts of the engine, which prematurely wears out the interior of this component. And if that happens, prepare your wallet. No mechanic will help fix it (if it can be fixed) for less than R$2500. In other words, it’s not worth saving on preventative maintenance. What can be done is to look for workshops that provide a good service at a fair price. If the engine example isn't enough for you, let's take another case. Consider your car's brakes. Again, the engineers who developed your car's braking system also studied the lifespan of each of the components and made this information available to you, right in the owner's manual. Let's say it's time to change the fluid and brake pads, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, which would cost around R$250 if the car is national. If, for some reason, you decide not to carry out preventive maintenance on these items, your loss will be considerably greater.
