If drivers would take responsibility for their own safety, we could be saving thousands of dollars on our car purchases. People refusing to use seat belts resulted in the requirements for very expensive air bags. People being too lazy to look at their tires before driving add hundreds of dollars to new cars for tire sensors. Factor in back-up sensors for people too stupid to use a rear view mirror and automatic parallel parking features for drivers too inept to learn how to park, and you have added enough to double the price of a car.

This is a very good habit to keep. My wife's car doesn't have tire monitors and she routinely does a visual check every time she drives.
