One of my hobbies is cars. I like to think that I always try to take good care of my car to keep it in good condition for a long time. I recently came across an interesting article online called Driver’s Habits and wanted to share it here. The article mentions a common bad habit among drivers that can damage their beloved cars without them realizing it: 1. Ignoring strange noises from the engine or transmission – You might want to take your car to a mechanic to prevent potential issues. 2. Filling up the tank only after the low fuel warning light comes on – Impurities accumulate at the bottom of the tank while your car is off. These can enter the fuel pump and filter, leading to problems. 3. Overfilling the fuel tank – This can cause significant damage to the fuel evaporation control system. 4. Excessive braking – Frequent braking wears out brake pads and discs quickly. If possible, use engine braking with a low-speed gear to reduce wear. 5. Sudden braking and acceleration – This increases the risk of accidents. Sudden acceleration consumes more fuel, while abrupt braking puts excessive strain on the braking system. The key takeaway is that a car’s lifespan strongly depends on the driver’s habits. By improving bad driving habits, you can maintain your beloved car for a long time. I realized that I also need to change some of my own driving habits.

One of my hobbies is cars. I would like to think that I always try to look after it pretty well to maintain it for long time. I came across an interesting article about "Driver's Habits" online and would like to share it here. The article says that there are driver's bad habits which deteriorate your beloved car without you noticing it. 1) Ignoring weird noises from the engine or transmission: If you hear a noise, you might want to take your car to the mechanic to prevent problems from occurring. 2) Waiting until the low fuel warning light turns on to fill up your car with gas. Impurities settle in the tank and create deposits. They can go into a fuel pump and a filter. 3) Overfilling the gas tank: Significant damage can be done to fuel evaporation gas control devices. 4) Too much braking: If you use the brakes too often, it can wear out brake pads and discs quickly. You might want to make the most of engine braking by using a low gear if possible. 5) Sudden braking and starting: This increases the risk of accidents. Sudden starting makes your car eat a lot of gas and sudden braking gives an excess load on braking system. The point is that the lifespan of the car has a strong dependence on drivers' habits OR Drivers' habits have a strong effect on the lifespan of a car. Hence, you can maintain your beloved car for a long time by improving your driving habits. I thought I also needed to alter my habits as a driver.
