I always carry a blanket and a flask of hot tea when I walk to the pub, just in case I bump into any pregnant ladies whose waters have broken. You really can't be too careful with these things.
Of course I am, I shall just lower the Sun Visor a little as I leave the drive, it's very bright out at the moment, I have over ½ a tank of Petrol, tyres and all levels were checked yesterday, windows are clean, I am sober, all seems in order to me.
I only mention these things in response to the OP, I do not generally try to be some sort of Motoring Guru!
My next journey could be interesting as both my front tyres are bald on the edge, the alternator is not charging properly and one headlight is aiming at the floor. Oh, and the spare is flat and someone has nicked the toolkit. But the fluid levels under the bonnet are just peachy, thanks for asking.
