Introduction
For many people, getting a driver's license is an event that
runs second only to getting a diploma or a marriage license.
We study, practice, and take the test in a state of high anticipation
that's marred only by the fear of failing and being "grounded"
forever. Yet most of us succeed in passing and hop happily
into our cars, headed for the freedom of the open road. Unfor¬tunately,
most of us don't know the first thing about the machines we're
licensed to drive - and this can turn a ticket to freedom
into a ticket to trouble.
I'm
not necessarily talking about physical danger. State motor
vehicle bureaus have made fairly sure that, before we can
get a driver's license, we know how to drive defensively and
can handle a car under poor driving conditions. What I'm referring
to is the kind of trouble that comes from depending on other
people to care for and repair our vehicles. If you're like
most people, you probably tend to drive around until something
goes wrong and then incur the expense of replacing worn and
burnt-out parts - or the entire engine - when low-cost, regular
maintenance could have kept your wheels turning for a long
time.
