12 Car Habits Only Highly Intelligent People Have

The smartest drivers don’t have newer cars. They have better habits. A working mechanic counts down 12 habits he sees in owners whose cars last: a light key ring, a full stop before shifting, using the parking brake, reading the drips under the car, checking tire pressure cold, carrying a real emergency kit, knowing which warning lights mean pull over now, washing off road salt, driving gently when cold, describing problems like a detective, asking for old parts and second opinions, and the rarest habit of all, hiding in your glovebox. Safety: A red oil pressure or temperature light means pull over and shut the engine off. A flashing check engine light means get it checked right away. Check for open recalls on your VIN. They’re fixed free. Subscribe for real shop knowledge from the guy with grease under his nails. #CarTips #Mechanic #CarMaintenance #CarCare #DrivingTips #SmartDriving #CarHacks #DIYCarCare
