To reduce the likelihood of accidents due to the **"vehicle factor"**, it is essential to perform **proper vehicle maintenance**. This involves following a mandatory inspection and maintenance schedule, which helps prevent mechanical failures such as brake failure or tire blowouts, which are common causes of accidents.

Although modern vehicles are equipped with advanced safety systems, these do not eliminate the need for regular maintenance. Safety systems have limits and cannot compensate for the lack of care in vehicle maintenance. Therefore, relying solely on these systems without performing proper maintenance can increase the risk of accidents.

In summary, regular and proper vehicle maintenance is essential to minimize the risks associated with the "vehicle factor" and ensure safer driving.
