Car Maintenance Tips & Advice from Foster & Heanes

Giving the car interior a good spruce-up is a chore for many, and often a job that gets left until you can’t bare the crumbs of food, clogs of mud and rubbish in the door pockets any longer. People often say, you can tell a lot about a person by the type of car they drive, and the condition they keep it in. Probably best not to dwell on that point for too long!

Did you know you can be fined for incorrect use of lights whilst driving?

Of course, we all know to turn on our headlights when its night-time, but so often we see motorists driving in low visibility conditions without any lights on at all. There are rules for when conditions require the use of lights, be it headlights, side lights, registration plate lights, fog lights, hazard lights or brake lights.

No sooner have we got our tables and chairs out in the garden enjoying a bit of warm sunshine and it seems we are packing them away again! Central heating is back on, spiders are out in force, geese have flown South – and the car windows are misted up. Winter has arrived!

 

The British Summer Getaway is sadly now associated with traffic delays and frustration. We have all seen (and perhaps experienced personally) the long, long delays at Dover this year – 15 miles of tailbacks with some travellers being forced to wait for 15 hours before being able to board the ferry. The unprecedented levels of chaos this time was blamed on the increased security checks at Calais, but each year Kent and many other main routes across the UK have us grid-locked in our cars with nowhere to go.
