Adjust Your Car Mirrors Properly

You would think that when people start to learn how to drive a vehicle they would learn this simple piece of advice. But shockingly, that is not always the case. The ‘blind spots’ are the area of the road that can’t be seen by looking forward through your windscreen, or by using your rear-view and side-view mirrors. Blind spots can be large enough in size to easily block another car, motorbike, cyclist, or pedestrian from your view. Now, there is a smart way to adjust your mirrors to neutralize any and all blind spots. The trick is to adjust your side mirrors further out to the point where you can’t view your own car. This means that your view of the sides overlaps with the image in your rearview mirror, as a result, it will eliminate any and all blind spots from your point of view.

Check If You Need An Oil Change

Now, you longer need to be a mechanic to know how to check and change the oil in your car. Simply try this incredible hack. First, start the car and let it warm up for 5 minutes, switch off the ignition, and then open the hood and take a few drops of oil. These drops will serve as a sample. Next, get a clean cloth or some paper towel and wipe the dipstick onto it. Let that sit for roughly 2 hours, come back later, and check the paper. If you see that the oil has become dark at the center, your oil is dirty, however, if it’s smooth, your oil is clean. Who knew it could be so simple, right?
