WINTER MOTORING HACKS
One does not need to be driven up the wall because they did not brace for winter. One just needs
to have a few simple items and the know-how to keep the winter “frostrations” at bay at a pinch.
HAND SANITISING GEL FREEZER BAGS CLEAR NAIL POLISH
Rubbing a small squirt of hand sanitiser
onto the door handle to thaw the frost
swiftly in order to open the car door. Putting freezer bags on wing mirrors the
night before will help avoid frosty mirrors
in the morning. Just be sure to secure them
with a rubber band. Avoid rust on chips and scratches
of paintwork by applying a coat of
clear nail polish.
20p
Road legal tyres are non-negotiable,
especially during winter. Treads should be
1.6mm deep to be road safe. Do away with
the guess work at home with the 20p tyre
test. Place the 20p flat in one of the grooves
of the tread. The tread should cover the inner
outline of the coin. If the outline can be seen,
the tyres are due for a change.
