Joel Kempson, car insurance expert at Uswitch, said: “It is important to conduct safety checks on your vehicle regularly.
“This includes the engine oil levels, the windscreen, windows and mirrors, and all lights.
“Failure to carry out these checks can result in fines of up to £2,500 and three penalty points on your driving license for driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition.”
