Check that all mirrors are properly set


best driving tips

If the mirrors are not properly adjusted, a blind spot appears. A blind spot is a section of the road that you cannot see, so you may lose a car driving in a lane near traffic. To eliminate blind spots, adjust the side mirrors so that you cannot see your car in them. To check for a blind spot, drive in front of another parked vehicle in the opposite direction, and look in the side rearview mirror. Once you are out of the image, you should see it with your peripheral vision.

The rearview mirror needs to be adjusted so that you can fully see your car's rear window. When adjusting the mirrors, they should be in a normal driving position.

Let's feel where the wheels are


best driving tips

If you want to be able to avoid potholes in the roadway and not scratch hub caps when stopping, you must lea
how the wheels feel. Take an empty plastic bottle, run it with your foot, and put it on the road. Practice driving on the left and right front wheels at the same time. Open the window to hear the bottle crinkle.

Park guided by windows and mirrors


best driving tips

When standing upright, stop as soon as you see the sidewalk under the side mirror. This way, the distance between the car and the sidewalk will be minimal and will not scratch the bumper.

When standing parallel, make sure that the connection caps are not scratched. Place a piece of colored tape on the bottom of the windshield. Stop as soon as the sign meets the curb line. It is better to stand parallel in the opposite direction: this way the sidewalk is visible in the side mirrors, so you will not be too close to it.
