May I take the liberty and offer a weekly tips to help improve driving standards ?
1 Walk around car check that it is clear no toys bikes kids there and tyres appear to be fully inflated.
2 Belt up before start up .
3 Check operation of all lights hi/lo beams, indicators in dark before opening garage door.
4 Sit upright with hands at 9&3 thumbs out so that your upper and lower arms are @ app 90 degrees.This is the correct position for the seat belt and air bag can work as designed.If you are too far away driving with straight arms & legs not only will you end up with elbow /shoulder/knee/hip damage as a result of locking the joints your arms & knees to brace yourself but the air bag will not save/stop your head from snapping forward and possible neck injury due to being too far away.
Waynne and moderators your thoughts yea or nay appreciated
Happy to continue or forget it if that is what you want??.
PS Not wanting to be regarded as a know all (as I don't but still willing to learn ) but trying/hoping to pass on a bit of my knowledge/experience that may hopefully help someone decide to incorporate even just 1 of my tips but hopefully more into their daily driving habits and by doing will become a safer driver.
