Other than the road, one thing you should also pay attention to while driving is your dashboard. It shows you a lot of information about your car, some to notify you and some to give you a warning.
Your car's dashboard is more than just a panel of controls and switches for the different features of your vehicle. It also serves as a warning system with its different symbols and indicator lights.
Like many things, cars are not perfect. It is fair to assume something is eventually going to break or stop working no matter what sort of car you buy, and no matter how reliable it is rumored to be.
