Simple tips that every driver should know

Adjust your rearview mirrors correctly

Safety experts believe that mirrors should be positioned so that no part of your car is reflected in them. Only in the side exterior mirrors should the reflection of your car be very minimal. In order to correctly estimate the distance to the neighboring car. The outside mirrors should slightly overlap the field of view of the inside center rearview mirror.

Secure Your Phone

Tired of fast food staining your car floors and seats? Special bins are a simple solution for storing food during a bumpy ride, which is especially useful when you have children.

Make a trash can in your car

To prevent small trash from accumulating in the car, make a special trash can and the interior will always be clean and cozy.

Stop in time when reversing

Hang a tennis ball in the garage to know exactly when to stop when reversing into the garage.

Which side is the bin on?

If it’s time for gas station, and you are in an unfamiliar car and do not know which side the gas cap is on, then a fuel flow sensor will help to avoid an unpleasant situation. The arrow on the sensor points to the side where the tank is located.

Never forget where you parked

It is very easy to forget where you parked. Save time, so as not to wander around the parking lot, take a photo of the place where you parked on your phone.

Remove the registration sticker

Whether it is a reminder to change the oil or a registration sticker, the stickiness they leave behind is very annoying. Take a newspaper soaked in hot water, put it on the registration sticker for about 10 minutes, and the sticker residue will disappear.

Cool the car without air conditioning

Roll down one window, open and close the door on the other side five or six times. Hot air comes out through the door you open and close, and cold air comes in through the window on the other side.

Prevent doors from freezing

Doors freeze because water settles in the gaskets and then hardens. What to do? Use regular cooking spray on the rubber gaskets inside the door, and then gently wipe them with a paper towel. This will make the seals tighter and prevent water from getting to them.

Treat Windshield Cracks with Nail Polish

You can slow down the progress of your windshield crack until you get to the nearest auto repair shop by applying clear nail polish to the crack on both sides of the glass and letting it dry.

Fixing Minor Dents

If you have minor dents on your car, simply press the plunger firmly against it and pull it out to return your car to normal in a few seconds. (This is a lot nicer than what you would normally use a plunger for, right?)

Cleaning with a Coffee Filter

Simply add a little olive or vegetable oil to a coffee filter and then wipe down your car’s console. If you don’t want to use oils, feel free to use another cleaning solution. (Filters are much better as cleaning agents than wipes, which are also often recommended because wipes can contain a lot of chemicals.)

Opening a Frozen Lock

Add hand sanitizer to your car key when trying to get to a frozen car lock. Why? No, not to fight germs, but because the alcohol on the key will melt the ice.
