If Your Tires Blows, DON’T Brake

This is more of a piece of advice than a hack: if your tire blows out while driving at least 65 km/h on a straight road, do not stop. Try to resist the urge, even if it is instinctive. Why are you inquiring? You’ll fishtail and possibly lose control of your vehicle if you hit the brakes, which could result in a collision with anything. Instead, keep your foot firmly planted on the gas pedal. That’s odd, isn’t it? We understand, but this will help you regain control of your vehicle and stay on the road in a straight line. It shouldn’t take more than a few seconds.

Don’t Weigh Down Your Key

This is more of a cautionary statement than a hack. Having too many keys or cute keychains can damage the ignition switch. That is, over time, your car will not start as easily as it should. According to experts, you should have no more than three keys or keychains in your collection. You should take your vehicle to a dealer as soon as possible if you notice a tightness or your key locking while in the ignition. Otherwise, you’ll end up spending a lot of money before you even realize it.
