    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. &nbsp;It&apos;s like some people just can&apos;t figure out that if you take your foot off the gas, the engine will slow the vehicle down on it&apos;s own. &nbsp;It has to be an IQ thing. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;She was borderline tailgating the entire way and anything that remotely changed in front of us caused her to hit the brakes. &nbsp;Just bizarre.

    I couldn&apos;t agree more with 100% of these points you&apos;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&apos;t want to check them after driving.<br><br>Also, turning the steering wheel while sitting still, that&apos;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&apos;t have power steering so you couldn&apos;t turn the wheel while sitting still if you had arms like Popeye!
