If You are a Driver Then You Should Know This By all Means

If you happen to be a driver, then this is a must-read!

Below is a compilation of things you should take into consideration to save yourself the trouble of being charged more because of your lack of awareness.

1. Mandatory When It Comes To Replacing All Car Tires

You can indeed replace just one tire, as long as it’s similar to the ones you already have. However, some experts recommend replacing them in pairs. Making a total of four, depending on the type of ride you have.

2. Avoid using your phone at the gas station.
I’m pretty sure that you’ve all encountered a scenario whereby a gas station posts up directing that phones shouldn’t be used. As far as they seem to say that it might be bad because an explosion can occur, it isn’t that risky, but it is always wise to be cautious.

3. Electric cars can’t catch fire easily.
There is no proof that electric cars are more likely to catch fire when compared with ‘regular’ cars.

4. You should change the coolant fluid and air filters when getting your oil changed.
Your mechanic might recommend you change these when you change your oil, but you don’t really have to. Check your car’s manual beforehand for instructions on how often you should do it.

5. You Should Change Your Car’s Oil Every 50 Minutes
There’s actually no such thing as this. This is an old myth that happened to make sense in old vehicles. Recent engines no longer require you to change the oil so often.

6. You don’t actually have to change your oil.
Well, you do. Oil will get dirty as particles accumulate over time. Always check your car’s manual for instructions as to when it needs an oil change, and stick to it!

7. Your car’s engine needs to warm up before you start driving in the cold.
This old myth doesn’t apply to modern cars. Some experts recommend waiting around 30 seconds before you start driving, which many people will inadvertently do anyway.

8. Larger cars are always safer in a crash.
Vehicle volume and weight are actually not as relevant as some people might think. Very small cars might be somewhat less safe, but the difference between a regular-sized hatchback and a crossover is negligible. It will boil down to the specific make and model.
