Bad driving habits that will damage your car
"How you drive or treat your car daily can make all the difference when it comes to its life span."
How you drive or treat your car daily can make all the difference when it comes to its life span.
So, take a look at these driving habits that are bad for your car, and learn why you should avoid them.
Braking Fast
Following other cars too closely can wear your brakes and rotors out more quickly, because you’ll probably have to use them more than other drivers.
You should maintain an adequate following distance for safety reasons, too.
But, even in situations where braking seems unavoidable, such as going down a steep hill, you have another option: Shifting into a lower gear will slow you down without riding the brakes.
Racing over Speed Bumps
Speed bumps harm your vehicle's steering, suspension, and alignment if driven over at high speeds.
The purpose of speed bumps is to keep drivers and pedestrians safe.
You will keep your neighbors and your car happy if you slow down when approaching a speed bump.
Driving on Low Fuel
You may think you are saving time and money by waiting until the fuel tank gets low to refill it, but in fact, the opposite is true.
Most car manufacturers and mechanics recommend driving your vehicle on at least a quarter tank of gas.
The reasoning behind this is that when your tank is low, your car is pulling the gas from the bottom of the tank where the sediment from the gas has settled.
This can cause clogged lines, dirty filters, and sometimes engine trouble if the sediment slips past the filter.
Avoiding Cruise Control
Not only is cruise control convenient, but it’s also efficient.
Outside of special conditions like steep mountain roads, cruise control is better than a person is at maintaining a consistent speed and using just the right amount of fuel to do so.
While you should always keep an eye on changing traffic speeds, using cruise control more often can boost your highway mileage.
