Every day before starting outThis was the right answer

It's essential to make sure that all wheel nuts are tightened with a correctly calibrated torque wrench. The wheel nuts should be checked every day before you start your journey. If a passenger tells you they've noticed that a wheel nut is missing, check it immediately. If there's a problem, don't move off until it's been rectified.
