For many people, a major part of welcoming the coming year is making new year resolutions. Oftentimes, such resolutions are restricted to physical self-care, attitude improvement, financial advancement, and many more.
While making resolutions to improve your health and overall lifestyle are great, adding a few for your car is an even better idea! Why? You use your car every day, so you must keep it in the best condition all through the New Year.
Here are 5 New Year’s resolutions every car owner should have for 2021.
Don’t Neglect Car Maintenance
If you are still lax about making regular maintenance appointments for your vehicle in 2021, your first new year’s resolution should be to call your mechanic!
Keeping up with car maintenance can be time and money-consuming, but when you don’t keep up with it, bigger and more expensive problems can arise.
The most important car maintenance you will need to do in the coming year is oil changes, tire care, brake pads, and your car’s air filter.
Be Courteous To Other Drivers
Driving can be frustrating especially when you have to deal with traffic jams and novice drivers. These factors can easily get to you, causing road rage and potential accidents.
Make it a new year’s resolution to be patient with the people you share the road with. With this mindset, you’ll find your commutes less stressful and safer.
A helpful tip to accomplish this is to leave 10 to 20 minutes early for your destination so you can allow for traffic and other situations that may occur on the road.
Keep Your Car Clean
For some, keeping their car clean comes naturally, but for others, it is a daily challenge. If your car is a mess going into the new year, you need to quickly declutter it and prevent future clutter.
Remove everything you don’t need from your car. Do you need that book you’ve been meaning to read the past few months or those three extra jackets taking up space? Throw out old receipts, coupons, and other miscellaneous papers and put important documents like your registration, insurance, and owner’s manual and put them in a safe spot.
After you have decluttered, give your car a deep clean.
End Distracted Driving
Every day, an average of 9 people lose their lives to distracted driving. Distracted driving is much more than texting and driving.
It is anything that can take your full attention away from the road such as changing the music, checking your GPS or map, taking a photo, checking email, or even eating and drinking.
Distracted driving is completely preventable, all you have to do is pay attention to the road and your surroundings as you drive.
