8 INCREDIBLE HACKS ALL DRIVERS NEED TO KNOW

SHINY BRIGHT WITH YOUR HEADLIGHTS

Grab a small cloth, some toothpaste and go to town on your headlights. Put some elbow grease into it and in just a few moments you will have shiny and bright headlights that look as though they have just come out of the shop.

PORTABLE GPS

If you don’t have a GPS system already installed in your car and you often find yourself relying on your mobile devices to get you where you want to go this hack will save your life. Weave a rubber band through your air conditioning vent and wrap it around your mobile. This will leave you hands-free and focused on the road.

 TRASH CAN

If you have children or take regular long trips in your car you can appreciate that the small allocated spaces to store rubbish are not adequate. Grab an old plastic cereal box with the round pop up lid, put a bag in it and use that instead. It doesn’t take up too much space and it will be a guaranteed life saver.

PARK LIKE A PRO

Sometimes your garage will not allow for much space meaning that scrapes and scratches are a sure thing when backing up your car in your garage. Try hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling so that you know exactly when to stop in order to keep your new car intact.

FILL HER UP THE FIRST TIME AROUND

How many times have you gone to fill up the tank at the gas station and have had to face the embarrassment of pulling up on the wrong side? If this has happened to you, you can save yourself the embarrassment next time by checking where the arrow on your gas gauge is pointing. Mystery solved!

FORGET YOUR SPOT NO MORE

Go to large malls on the regular and even more often where in the world your car is parked amongst the sea of other vehicles? This no longer needs to be your problem as we have a hack just for you. Next time you park, take out your mobile device and photograph exactly where you have parked.

WINTER IS COMING

If you often find yourself with frozen car doors locked in place in the midst of winter, prepare to rid yourself of your problem forever. Next time you find your car frozen in place grab some cooking spray and go to town on the rubber lining on the inside of your door and slowly wipe it up with a paper towel. By doing this you make the seals much tighter and makes it much more difficult for the water to come in.

POLISH THOSE WINDSHIELD CRACKS

When you’re faced with a large crack on your windshield the optimal thing to do is to get your car to your local, trusted mechanic as soon as possible. Until then you can slow down the crack by putting some nail polish on it.
