Bad driving habits are bad for your car. Since you’re here, I’m guessing you’ve already suffered some damage. If your dad yells at you to step on the brakes too fast, he knows. It also seemed to say that you are spending too much on using Spectrum Internet on your phone! This and many other things you do can damage your tires.
This checklist shows common habits that affect your car and your tires:
- Be heavy on the brake
- Drive with some fuel
- Hand resting on throttle
- Hit speed bumps and holes
- Coupling drive
- Relive the cold engine
- Do not follow oil changes
- Spin too fast
- Ignore warning lights
1: Be heavy on the brake
We all drive in stressful situations. This often leads to an emergency stop. This means that you brake sharply and hard. For some, it is difficult to be difficult. If this is you, you are causing unnecessary damage to your car.
Hard brakes push the rotors and pads. You will need to replace it faster and even more often than you think. To avoid this, drive slower. It is good to expect the road ahead to be slower when you need it.
2: Drive with some fuel
Although no one intentionally does it, but if you drive too often, it hurts in your car!
A low fuel level means that what is left in the bottom of the tank is burned to create mechanical energy. And downstairs, most of the supplies were fixed. They can block the filter and damage the engine as well as the car.
It is wise to fill your tank. It also saves you the hassle of towing your car when you run out of fuel.
3: Hand resting on throttle
If your driver says you need to keep both hands on the steering wheel, be sure to do so. Many drivers are used to resting their hand on the gear lever.
It’s bad for the transfer. The gear lever is connected to a selector fork. It is designed to come in contact with a rotating collar for a period of time. When your hand rests on the gear, you lack pressure on the gear fork. This can lead to premature wear.
4: Hit speed bumps and holes
One third of the vehicle’s damage is due to holes. Avoid it at all costs.
Sudden shock can cause lumps in the tires and cause alloys and tension wheels to burst. It can also interfere with detection and destroy the balance of the wheel. Okay, sometimes it’s hard to spot them, but avoid them as much as possible.

Driving with a speed bump without braking can damage both the front and rear of the vehicle.
5: Coupling drive
It is always a bad idea to operate the clutch. Wondering when this will happen? If you take the foot off the pedal after shifting gears. Poor clutch control leads to premature wear. It also shortens the life of the plate.
When driving downhill, keep the car in neutral by applying the parking brake until you are ready to drive.
6: Relive the cold engine
People will tell you that short trips require your car because the engine oil does not get hot. The reality is that all vehicles start from the cold. So do not try to restart your engine until it has warmed up.
When you no longer need to live, the oil heats up and begins to circulate around the engine. This minimizes wear.
7: Do not follow oil changes
Oil change is not directly related to driving style, but it does play an important role in increasing the life of your car. Never drive your car further than the distance between the lubricants.
The more you drive, the more oil is collected from metal shafts due to the friction between the moving parts of the engine. Oil degrades over time and its performance decreases. If you do not follow the oil change regularly, your mileage will worsen. You will feel that the performance of the car is deteriorating and that serious problems may eventually arise.
See your car’s manual to determine the correct time for an oil change. You can also talk to your mechanic about it.
8: Spin too fast
This is another common mistake that drivers make. But luckily, it’s the easiest to fix. If you drive too fast in a corner, you are doing so many things – the tires, the brakes, the steering, the suspension and other parts.
In other words, you reduce the life of ball joints, struts, handlebars, bearings and more. You can improve the life of the vehicle and ensure its safety by turning slowly and carefully.
9: Ignore warning lights
If you have a car with a modern dashboard, agree that it has more lights than a Blackpool with Christmas.
In the middle of it, we sometimes ignore the viewers or a light. We do not see it until we stop and look. Instead of waiting for your car to break down, always check the lights on the dashboard.
For some of us, giving up these habits is not easy. For my mother, it was not easy to switch from paying her wired account by check to having a Spectrum account payment facility. But eventually she made this transition. You too. So take it easy with your car. You can thank me later!
