Think about your choice of tyres for your car. Cheapest is definitely not the best. Ask your tyre dealer for a tyre that will wear at a steady rate, yet maintain good grip in wet conditions. A tyre compound that is too hard will tend not to be good in the rain but last a long time, while a softer compound in a tyre will give a better grip all round yet wear out at a faster rate.
Do not use a mobile phone while driving or in traffic. The police are in their right to take the phone from you immediately and issue a fine and enforce 3 penalty points on your license.
Do not let your car run out of fuel. Running out of fuel is classed as an offence and could impose a fine. It also can block important fuel lines and filters which can cause problems with the running of your car in the future.
Keep your windscreen washers full and your wipers in good condition.
Penalty points on your license can increase your car insurance premiums so adhere to the guidelines above for safer motoring and a guarantee.
