As a rule, young drivers are a main topic of adults: worrying, dangers, anecdotes and conversations. They are capable of doing almost of all evils on the earth whether it is true or not, we will find very soon:

  1. Adore tires and dashboard looks glossy. So, in order to do this they are constantly stopping and cleaning tires and dashboard. Of course, they use various special liquids and it can be harmful to both a car and a driver. Some experts even believe that these special liquids can speed up the wastage of a dashboard, and the situation with tires is even more sorrowful, due to the enormous use of special matters, rubber can cracks. The best way to make your tires look wonderful is to wash them with a light soap solution and the best way to keep your dashboard clean – to wipe it with a wet cloth. So, make these proceeding and your car will be safe and sound fro many years!

  2. Drive only cars with automatic transmissions. This statement is true only to some extent, to possess a car with automatic transmission means to drive in a more comfortable way and to to pay attention to the gearbox, but have you ever think how problematic it can be to change an automatic transmission or to repair the old one?

  3. Change oil very often. According to the official data it is much better to change oil in your car every 3,000 miles, but, it is a common misconception, that can take a lot of your time and money. Because (and don’t get angry!) modern vehicles are very reliable and it is enough to change oil only every 7,500 miles (and some are evne reported to drive without an oil change up to 15,000 miles). Feel the difference? Only some special conditions (such us bad weather conditions, for example) can make you change it a little bit often.
  4. At red light shift automatic transmission into neutral. Why? Because only in such a way it is possible to avoid extra fuel wasting and to avoid the early exhausting of your car. Do you want to know the truth? Forget about it, this procedure (of shifting) is neither useful nor harmful, people just don’t know what to do, while standing in a traffic jam. So, buy a bead, it will calm down your nerves and distract from gearbox.

  5. Hands-free headset is much safer than an ordinary cell phone. Let’s penetrate into the inner of this problem – why it is forbidden to drive while talking? Because, a driver becomes inattentive and it can be extremely dangerous. But, truly speaking, talking (in general) is also very annoying and you can do nothing about it. So, either you are talking holding a cell phone or with a help of hands-free headset – you are distracting from your main aim – to get to the destination.

  6. Unique nameplate is cool. First of all, tastes differ, but there are still some cars which we are dreaming to possess. They are marvellous, expensive and popular. Famous brands made them, but very often you can perfectly understand that your new Maybach is not better that an ordinary Audi 4, but driving Maybach you can see people envying you. So, if image is very important to you…

  7. Only keeping doors unlocked you can facilitate rescuers work (in case of accident). Very interesting point of view, actually! But, my dear friend, while keeping your doors unlocked you can die before the rescuers will come. Why? Because, in case of accident you can be ejected from the car. Rescuers are rescuers and don’t worry about them, it is not a problem to unlock a car door or to break the window. So, keep your doors locked!

  8. It is no need to wear a seat belt, while occupying the backseat. Actually, it is useful and important! There are 2 major risks that can happen to backseat passengers (without a belt): they can be awfully injured in rollover car accidents and moreover, it is impossible for them to enjoy the all advantages of car safety features. Why? Very often people don’t think about accident causes and don’t understand how an accident happens. Some even believe that it is impossible for them to fly out from their seats.

  9. Important information:
  • be sure you are holding a steering wheel in a right position: at the 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions;
  • steering wheel must be 10 inches from the chest;

I hope this information will be helpful to you… and what about the 10th point? It is a common misconception – to believe teens.
