7 Bad Driving Habits that are Bad for your Car

Friday, August 17th, 2018in Advice, by aforthepeople / 0 Comments

 BAD DRIVING HABITS that are bad for your car

1.   RUNNING ON EMPTY  Riding around without much gas can damage your fuel pump

2.   SHIFTING TOO SOON This can cause major damage to your transmission

3.   BRAKING TOO MUCH This causes extra wear and tear on brakes and rotors

4,  GUNNING IT This can cause damage to the engine and extra wear on tires

5.  FORGETTING THE PARKING BRAKE Do you know what holds you car in place?

One small piece of metal in the transmission. Not using the parking brake causes extra wear to that bit of metal.

6.   PACKING ON THE POUNDS Extra weight adds pressure to different areas of your car.

Suspension, brakes and transmission are the parts affected the most.

7.   HOLDING DOWN THE CLUTCH If you have a manual transmission,

keep the car in neutral while at an intersection to help keep the clutch from burning out.
