When you’re next wondering if it’s time to replace your tires, you can take one penny and place it into the tread groove. Check if Abe Lincoln’s head has been turned upside down and pointed towards you.

In a small garage parking space, attempting to park your vehicle without damaging it could appear like an exercise in futility.
If you get it to the right spot without hitting your fender, you’ll have to be concerned about scratching your doors as you leave the car.
You can park your car without concern when you cut the pool noodles in half and then screw it onto the wall.

Every car driver is required to wear seat belts at all times when driving. If you’re a novice or an experienced driver, do not forget the practice of wearing a seat belt when driving a vehicle.
A study has revealed that more than 75% of drivers in India don’t wear seat belts when driving, which results in the death of 15 people every day.
Not only is it a requirement and mandatory, but wearing a seatbelt is a great way to lower the chance of sustaining serious injuries in a collision or accident.

A majority of countries, including Pakistan, have been able to ban the use of cell phones while driving. This is due to the sheer number of deaths caused by this seemingly harmless act.

Additionally, using a mobile phone while at the wheel can slow reactions by up to 20 percent.
It’s not just phones that can cause distractions, however.
Eating and applying makeup, playing with electronic devices or interfacing with others can divert the attention of drivers in ways that could be deadly. The best advice for distracted driving can be “Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel.”
6: Adjust the mirrors
Driving while not looking over your back is something that we would never recommend to you. Therefore, make adjustments to the IRVM and OVRMs under your preferences while remembering that mirrors are there to show you what’s happening behind them.
A few tips for adjusting the ORVMs and OVRMs is to change them, so they’re aligned with your tail facing the opposite side of that mirror.

Where did you put your car? Oh no, here again! For those who forget to park, there are apps to assist you in locating your car in a flash so that you don’t spend time walking around the parking garage with your key fob in your hand.

Dust and crumbs and any other kind of sticky material are likely to accumulate in a car’s cup holder and are the most difficult to scrub clean area of any vehicle.
However, a solution will ensure your cup is spotless and free of hassle. Place a cupcake liner in your cup’s base. If it gets dirty, you can replace it with a new one.
9: Warm Up Your Windshield Wipers
Do not waste your time (and be late to start work) trying to remove the windshield wipers from the ice. Take the initiative by wearing the help of a couple of socks.
Keep a pair of socks in your vehicle during the winter months, and when bad weather is coming, place them on your windshield wipers in the evening to prevent the hose from freezing and sticking.
10: Use Tinted Window Clings as Movable Shades
Everyone knows that odd time of the day when the sun’s rays shine through the windshield at the right angle, so that car visors won’t move or tilt too far to block out the sun’s blinding rays.
Stop looking at the sun and put an opaque window in the right place to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays. This technique is extremely effective. After all, that’s the method used by airline pilots.
