										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Preparing a car for a long road trip involves much more than just finding a way to squeeze the luggage into the boot &#8211; at least, if one wants to hit the road with maximum confidence. So says Chris Lett, owner of Branigans Tyres in Southport. “A breakdown far from home &#8211; or worse yet, in the middle of nowhere &#8211; can leave the driver feeling lost, frustrated and stressed out,” says Chris. “While there’s no guarantee that this won’t happen, you can reduce the chances of a breakdown and contribute towards a safer journey by preparing your car for the trip.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">From the Wheels Up</h3>



<p>Start by inspecting the tyres. “Look at the tread depth across the entire width of the tyre,” says Chris. The treads should have a depth of at least 1.5mm. This means that the car is compliant with road safety legislation, it will have better stopping power, and a better chance of staying in control, even in slippery road conditions. Drivers should also check the sidewalls of tyres &#8211; any odd-looking bulges mean there is a risk of a blowout.</p>



<p>If there are signs of uneven tyre wear, the wheel balancing and alignment of the care are probably less than ideal. If the treads are still deep enough, Branigans Tyres can help by switching existing tyres around, rebalancing them, and checking the wheel alignment.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Battery Check, Belts, and Hoses</h3>



<p>Chris is an experienced mechanic, so he doesn’t stop at the wheels and tyres his business specialises in. “Simply look under the bonnet and check your battery connections. They should be firmly attached with no signs of corrosion. If there is corrosion, the battery needs checking and cleaning. If you’re confident that you can do it yourself, go ahead. Alternatively, get help from a mechanic.”</p>



<p>“The belts and hoses should also be inspected to ensure that they aren’t worn. They’ll be working hard for you on your long road trip, so either check them out yourself, or get a trustworthy mechanic to take a look.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Check the Car’s Fluids and Filters</h3>



<p>Check the oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant levels. If the oil is starting to look dirty, consider having the car serviced before racking up hundreds of kilometres. That way, the driver can be assured that all the necessary filters have been attended to and that the car’s ready to go.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Even if the car is not taken for a full service, at the least the air filter should be checked out. If it isn’t clean, not only will more fuel will be used on the trip, but engine problems could be encountered along the way.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Check the Brakes</h3>



<p>Apart from attending to tyres, Branigans is also happy to assist with brakes. “Being sure that the brakes aren’t worn before a long road trip is very important. Squeaks, squeals, and grinding noises are among the signs that the brakes need urgent attention, but there are more subtle signs too. For example, if the car tends to pull to one side when you stop suddenly, there’s cause for concern. You may feel vibration on the brake pedal, or it may seem softer than usual. Brake lights that come on for no apparent reason could also point towards an urgent need to attend to the brakes,” says Chris.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Look at the Lights</h3>



<p>As a final, very straightforward road safety check before undertaking a long journey, get a family member to walk round the car while testing the indicators, brakes, and headlights. Apart from being in good working order, the covers should also be intact. “Your car won’t break down because your indicator light covers are cracked or broken, but you won’t be as safe on the road, and you could be in line for a hefty fine,” warns Chris.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ready to Go: Branigans Wishes Drivers a Great Trip</h3>



<p>With the pre-trip checklist complete, it’s a matter of packing the bags and enjoying the journey. “It’s up to you now,” says Chris. “Branigans Tyres wishes you a safe journey to your destination and wonderful welcome when you return home.”<br><br>For further information, visit or call Chris and his team at&nbsp;<a href="https://branigansbudgettyres.com.au/">Second Hand Tyres Gold Coast |Branigans Budget Tyres</a>&nbsp;by contacting the Service Centres in&nbsp;<a href="https://branigansbudgettyres.com.au/locations/burleigh-heads/">Burleigh Heads</a>&nbsp;(07) 5535 2660 or&nbsp;<a href="https://branigansbudgettyres.com.au/locations/southport/">Southport</a>&nbsp;(07) 5591 8633.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the current costs involved in buying vehicles in the first place, as well as those accrued when they have to be repaired or replaced, vehicle insurance may seem like a must have. But to ensure its there with a payout, and a suitably-sized one at that, to meet the costs in the event of fire, theft, or a collision on the road, it has to be the right insurance, and the car owner has to keep the car and it’s tyres well looked after and maintained. According to Australian tyre recycler Chris Lett, it may be easy for vehicle owners to overlook worn tyres or delay replacing them for a while, but they won’t be overlooked by insurers if a claim is made, and that could cost the vehicle owner a great deal.</p>
<p>To make sure they’re signing up for the right insurance policy, Lett says vehicle owners should be careful to read the small print in the policy documents carefully for exclusions, and following the agreement, owners should be sure to keep the car well maintained, and it’s insurer up to date in terms of its condition, or any repairs or changes that were made that were not connected to a claim. Otherwise, payouts may be withheld.</p>
<h3>Why Tyres and Changes Can Squash the Payout</h3>
<p>Lett says warn tyres are a big disqualifier. Not only are they dangerous but it will guarantee an unsuccessful claim, which is one of the reasons why it is so important to regularly check them and ensure they meet the legal tyre safety standards.</p>
<p>He said the insurers who refuse payout when tyres are badly worn, justify this by citing how these tyres can raise the risk of collision by lengthening braking distance, damaging other vital parts, and loosening the vehicle’s grip on the road which can make it more likely to crash, slide or roll, particularly in wet weather, all of which are a valid argument.</p>
<p>When it comes to changes made to cars, Lett says: “Most owners don’t realise that modifications to the vehicle such as a repaint job, can also cause a claim to be rejected, as the vehicle is not the same vehicle that the insurer originally agreed to cover.” Lett advises checking with the insurer before making any changes to the vehicle.</p>
<h3>Sometimes Vehicle Owners Don’t Have a Choice</h3>
<p>To make sure the insurance taken out is the right one, vehicle owners do have a number of possible choices. But not when it comes to Comprehensive Third Party (or Green Slip insurance). All Australian car owners are required to have this, no matter which state they live in. CTP protects the driver from financial liability by covering the third parties involved if there’s an accident which results in injury.</p>
<p>This includes passengers in the insured vehicle as well as other drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, pedestrians (and any passengers they have), and all those travelling on public transport. Depending on the assessment of the claim, CTP may cover a number of costs such as general damages (pain and suffering), rehabilitation, care costs, loss of income, medical treatment, funeral costs, and even financial support for the surviving spouse, partner or dependents in the event of a fatal crash.</p>
<p>However, as CTP does not cover vehicle and property damage, which can run into thousands, come into their thousands, Chris Lett of Branigans Tyres in Queensland, suggests motorists investigate having additional insurance to ensure peace of mind in such a situation.</p>
<h3>Choosing an&nbsp;Additional&nbsp;Insurance</h3>
<p>“The best option is the one that fits the vehicle owner’s needs the best,” explains Lett. Comprehensive car insurance, which offers the most protection, covers any vehicle damage caused by collision, malicious actions, theft, or weather, but it is also the most costly in terms of premiums, and therefore might not be warranted if the vehicle is old.</p>
<p>This leaves Third Party Property Only, which, as its name suggests, covers only damage to the other vehicle or property, but not the policy owner’s. Fire and Theft Only policies cover the policy owner’s vehicle for fire damage and theft, but there is no cover included for damage caused in a collision.</p>

<div id="block-5c823ce1-b749-427f-8414-fc9b14c2852c" class="wp-block block-editor-block-list__block has-selected-ui" data-block="5c823ce1-b749-427f-8414-fc9b14c2852c" data-type="core/paragraph">
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">Very few people would risk hiking up a steep hill wearing boots with worn-out soles. They would know it wasn’t safe, as they would probably slip. Yet the same doesn’t apply to their car’s “boots” when hitting the road, says iconic Gold Coast tyre expert and recycler, Chris Lett. Many drivers still take to the road with tyre tread less than the legal minimum, and appear to be totally unaware that what they are doing is both illegal and dangerous.</p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">He said surveys suggest that every second Australian has no idea of the country’s tyre safety rules, and that implies they don’t realise that worn-out tyres, often allowed to degrade to that point because of drivers’ reluctance to meet the high costs of buying news ones, can cost them dearly in fines, as well as endanger them, their passengers and others on the road.</span></p>
<h3 class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">Possible Consequences of Worn Tyres</h3>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">Lett says worn tyres can have serious consequences. Like the hiker’s boots with thin and smooth soles, tyres with poor tread lessen the car’s contact with the road and therefore its grip, particularly if the road is wet. Not only are smooth tyres less able to disperse the water, but their inability to keep contact with the road can result in sliding or aquaplaning.</p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">This results in drivers losing control of the car, particularly when driving at high speed, and rolling it, swerving into oncoming cars, or finding it hard to stop fast enough to prevent a collision.</span></p>
<h3 class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">Rules of the Road: Tread Carefully</h3>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Roadworthy tread depth is controlled by the Australian Motor Vehicles Standards Act of 1989, and different penalties are issued for tyres with less tread than the regulated minimum. The penalties differ in different states and can take the form of defect notices or demerit points on drivers’ licenses, but all will also include fines based on how many tyres are no longer roadworthy.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Tread depths are about 6-8mm when the tyres are new, but deteriorate with usage. Once the tread has thinned to 1.6mm across the width of the tyre, they are no longer considered safe or roadworthy, and therefore are illegal. However, according to Lett, owners should rather replace them when they reach 3mm, a tread depth that is considerably safer.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Because lack of tread reduces the car’s contact with the road, Let says it impacts on the car’s braking system making it more difficult to stop quickly. While the brakes themselves slow the rotation of the wheels, its left to the tyres to disperse any moisture on the road and bring the car to a halt using the friction between the rubber and the road. However, smooth tyres can’t perform either function properly, and stopping becomes a longer process both in terms of time and distance.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">On a wet road, the difference in braking distance between tyres with the regulated minimum 1.6mm and ones with 3mm treads can be as much as 44 %, or just over 9 meters. And Lett says that could well be 9 meters too far to prevent an accident.</span></p>
<h3 class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">How to Check Tyre Tread</h3>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">The tread depth can be determined from the levels of tread bar indicators built into modern tyres. They run across the width of the tyre and are seen lodged at the bottom of the grooves when the tyre is new. As the tyre wears they are increasingly visible, and the gap between them and the tyre surface shrinks. Once they are close to, or level with, the surface, it’s time for a change.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Lett says other ways to test the tread involve using a tyre gauge or ruler, or playing with coins. Inserting an Australian 10c into the central groove, and seeing the outside rim disappear shows the tyres meet the 1.6mm legal minimum, but if the bill of the platypus on a 20c coin shows above the top of the tyres, the tread is a safer 3mm.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Australian statistics put low-tread tyres right up there with speed and alcohol as major causes of fatal accidents. Should the huge numbers of smooth tyres on the road it prove to be because of the driver’s reluctance or inability to pay the price of new tyres, Lett says it would be both tragic, and unnecessary.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Lett said Branigans Tyres in Burleigh Heads, which he’s run for 15 years, provides thoroughly checked high quality recycled tyres, many of which have done low mileage and have good tread at a fraction of the price of new tyres.</span></p>

<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph">For Australians trapped at home by the threat of Covid-19, it might seem like hitting the long road again is nothing more than a dream. But the time will come when the lockdowns are over and the great outdoors beckons again, says iconic tyre expert and recycler Chris Lett of Branigans Tyres on the Gold Coast. He suggests that Aussies make sure they are ready to roll when travel restrictions for local travel are lifted.</p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">He believes that once Australians can again open the front door wide, they won’t be hanging around at home as they will have been there and done that for too long. The outdoors and travel are part of their culture and they will be firing up the camper or packing the car and heading into the golden sunset (or sunrise) as soon as possible.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">However, Lett stresses the importance of drivers checking their cars and tyres for any damage caused by the lockdown period of little or no mobility, and they should do this before turning on the ignition.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="color: var(--global-palette3);font-size: 28px;font-style: italic">What to Watch Out for When Back On the Road</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><strong style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3);font-style: normal">The roads and highways are going to be busy:</strong><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3);font-style: normal"> Lett says there’s a good chance the country is going to have a boom in local travel as Australians set about making up for the loss of the traditional Easter holiday break. Overseas trips are probably an option for some time, so Aussies wanting to feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces will be celebrating by taking a new look at Australia.</span></p>
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><strong style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)" data-rich-text-format-boundary="true">Getting your tyres ready to spin: </strong><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Long periods are standing idle aren’t kind to most parts of your car, but the battery and tyres are among the first to suffer. If the car is left out in the open without a cover,  UV light, ozone and the heat of the sun can cause tyre degradation, Lett said.</span></p>
</div>
<div id="block-7351f202-4303-46c8-899a-500979ec4513" class="wp-block block-editor-block-list__block has-selected-ui" data-block="7351f202-4303-46c8-899a-500979ec4513" data-type="core/paragraph">
<p class="rich-text block-editor-rich-text__editable wp-block-paragraph"><span style="font-size: inherit;color: var(--global-palette3)">Tyres can also lose their shape if the wheels don’t move fairly regularly. This causes the car’s weight to be on the same section of the tyre for as long as the car stands idle. Failure to ensure the tyre pressure was kept at the right level all the time could have similar results and both these problems could call for replacement tyres, according to Lett.</span></p>
