Easy Tips And Tricks Every Driver Should Know (pics) by cmgoat(m): 7:49am On Nov 12, 2016 |
A majority of adults drive cars, so why not make the trip from point A to point B — and the upkeep of your car — a little bit easier? No, these tips and tricks won’t make you a certified mechanic or magically eliminate those people who can’t seem to exert enough energy to slightly lift one finger and use their turn signal, but they can make general upkeep and travel a little bit less stressful. Use toothpaste to clean headlights. Properly adjust your mirrors. Safety experts believe that mirrors should be positioned so that no part of your car appears in them, as that’s the best way to negate blind spots that require you to turn your head when changing lanes. The mirror placements should slightly overlap with the field of view in the center-mounted rear-view mirror. Tie up your phone. Thread a rubber band through your air conditioner vent for a makeshift phone holder. Fast food fix. Tired of fast food ruining your car floors? Shower caddies are a simple solution to keeping meals in place during a bumpy ride, which is especially helpful with kids. 8 Likes 6 Shares

What side is the tank on? If it’s time to fill up the tank and you’re in an unfamiliar car, save yourself the embarrassment of pulling up to the wrong side. The arrow on the gas gauge points to the side that the tank is on. 52 Likes 6 Shares

Remove a registration sticker. Whether it’s an oil change reminder or a registration sticker, the goo they leave behind is irritating at best. Grab a newspaper and put warm water on it, place it over the registration sticker for approximately 10 minutes, and the sticker residue will be gone. 9 Likes 2 Shares

Easily open a key ring. Instead of fumbling around for 15 minutes and breaking your nails , use a staple remover to easily open a key ring. 1 Like 3 Shares

Cool a car down without air conditioning. Roll down one window, and open and close the door on the other side five to six times. The hot air escapes through the door you’re opening and closing, while the cool air enters through the window on the other side. That way you’re not wasting any gas by blasting the air conditioner. 14 Likes 3 Shares

Stash those tissues. A reusable coffee mug makes a great holder for tissues, and you know it will fit right into the cup holder in your console. 1 Like 1 Share

Use your chin to increase your remote car opener. If your remote car door opener doesn’t have the range to open your door, place the car key fob on your chin to increase the range of the car-retrieval signal. The fluids in your head turn it into an adequate conductor. 8 Likes 2 Shares

Organize stuff for a buck. A shoe organizer from Konga store is a great way to organize all your travel supplies.

Dryer sheets do double duty. Stash a few dryer sheets in your car to keep it smelling fresh, and apparently placing them in under the hood will also help keep away mice.

Treat windshield cracks with nail polish. You can slow a crack in your windshield until you can get your car to the shop by brushing clear nail polish on the crack on both sides of the glass and then pull it into the sun to dry. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Plunge (small) problems away. If you have small dents in your car, just push a plunger firmly against it and pull out to see your car go mostly back to normal in just a few seconds. (That’s much more pleasant than what you normally use a plunger for, now isn’t it?) 8 Likes 3 Shares

Clean with a coffee filter. Simply dab a little olive or vegetable oil on the coffee filter and then rub it over your car’s console. If you don’t want to use the oils, feel free to go without it or use another cleaning solution instead. (The filters are much better as cleaners than dryer sheets, which are often recommended as well, because dryer sheets can contain a lot of chemicals.)

Waladade4luv: Toothpaste won't help you. Very likely your bulb isn't sitting well in the headlight. Fix that first 2 Likes 1 Share |
