I’m a driving expert, and these recommendations

I’m a driving expert, and these recommendations for driving in the heat might save you hundreds of dollars.

Despite the recent bad weather, summer is quickly approaching.

With summer being such an exciting and busy season for many people, it’s critical that safety remains a top focus.

Make your vehicle as unique as possible.

Now is the time to inspect your air conditioning system and have it “charged” in preparation for the summer.

A cooler automobile will lessen the driver’s stress and distractions.

Avoid the urge to drive barefoot or in flip-flops.

While there is no clear rule that prohibits driving in bare feet or any other type of footwear, Rule 97 of the Highway Code does.

If you violate this law by wearing incorrect footwear, you face a £100 fine on the spot as well as three penalty points on your license.

Examine your coolant

If you’re caught in traffic or travelling on a hot day, the engine will quickly overheat if the radiator doesn’t have enough coolant.

Smoke emerging from the hood indicates that the vehicle is overheating.

Engines can overheat for a variety of causes, but the most common is that something is wrong with the cooling system and heat is unable to escape the engine compartment.

Regardless of the root of the problem, you should not ignore it or you risk causing considerable, if not permanent, damage.

If your engine overheats, find a safe spot to stop as you should not drive.
