One thing that often makes the timing belt break is making short journeys by car on a regular basis, or driving in very low temperatures or with a cold engine. For example, cars used for providing taxi services are at risk, as they are in use all day but make frequent stops. This means the engine is cold when the car drives off again. driving at very high speeds all the time - also causes the timing belt to break. So, in order to avoid damaging the timing belt as well as ensure your safety and that of other occupants on the road, you should drive moderately and respect speed limits.
