Forget the "fuel light". When your gas gauge says you have 1/4 tank left, fill up your gas tank. Easy and safe.

For using the parking break on a hill, I have a better method for you:<br>1. press and hold brake pedal as usual<br>2. shift into N<br>3. engage parking break<br>4. release brake pedal, let the vehicle roll full weight onto the parking break<br>5. Now shift into P

One thing that you forgot. Is when a car sits for a while. Rodents tend to move in and eat your wires

I watch people ride their brakes almost the entire way into work in the morning, braking for absolutely no reason. It's like some people just can't figure out that if you take your foot off the gas, the engine will slow the vehicle down on it's own. It has to be an IQ thing. I was behind some lady the other day that was hitting her brakes every 5 seconds for the better part of 30 miles, and none of it was warranted. She was borderline tailgating the entire way and anything that remotely changed in front of us caused her to hit the brakes. Just bizarre.

I couldn't agree more with 100% of these points you've brought forward. The key now is for drivers/ owners to PAY ATTENTION, or PAY THE MECHANIC.

Great video. One thing I would add to checking your tire air pressure is to be sure to do it in the morning, before you drive anywhere. You don't want to check them after driving.<br><br>Also, turning the steering wheel while sitting still, that's a great tip that no one talks about. I learned 50 years when first starting to drive tractor trailers to not do that. Of course back then most trucks didn't have power steering so you couldn't turn the wheel while sitting still if you had arms like Popeye!
