5. Keep an eye on trucks
Generally speaking, trucks don’t drive as fast as passenger cars, but it’s smart to keep an eye on them nonetheless. Are the truck drivers suddenly slowing down a little to stick to the speed limit? Then there’s a good chance there’s a speed camera coming up. Truck drivers often tell each other about this, which means they know about it sooner than if you just listen to the radio. So, make sure you keep to the speed limit if you notice trucks around you slowing down. Although, of course, you should preferably stick to the speed limit at all times.
6. Clear nail polish
It’s really handy to keep a bottle of clear nail polish in the glove compartment of your car. Yes, for men, too! Why? If you get a tiny fracture in your windshield when you’re on the road, you can temporarily ‘glue’ it with a bit of nail polish. Of course, this isn’t an alternative to getting it fixed, but it can be handy when you’re on the road.
7. Improvised tablet holder
Are you going on holiday or for a family visit and do you have to drive for a long time with (small) children in the backseat? They will probably keep busy with a tablet. You can fashion an improvised tablet holder by attaching baggage clips to the headrest of one of the chairs. Your children will have their own television screen in the back!
8. Hairs
Do you take your dog with you in the car regularly and does your car have fabric upholstery? You can vacuum all you want, but those rough dog hairs won’t all come out. The trick? A squeegee! Use a spray bottle to spray some water on the car chairs and the backseat. If you want your car to smell nice you can even add a tiny bit of fabric softener to the water in the bottle. Next, use the squeegee to wipe the fabric surfaces and you’ll see the hairs will come right off. Your car seats have never been so clean before!
9. Conditioner
We usually use conditioner for our hair, but it can also be very handy on your car! Pick a conditioner that contains lanolin; this substance will apply a protective layer on the paint of your car, just like car wax would. That way, your car will remain shiny for longer. Handy, right?
