Top Twelve Important Reminders to Drivers from Simon

Some pretty good advice I learnt along the way, for new drivers and old hands, road hoggers and F1-wannabes, for kancil cili padi's to Mugen/Nismo racer boys.



Top Twelve Important Reminders to Drivers from Simon

• When you hear a loud noise from your engine, turn your radio louder.
  
  
• Pump petrol in the cooler parts of the day, like in the morning or in the evening. Anytime in between, it’s just too hot to get out of your car air-conditioning.
  
  
• Remember, if you collide with a motorbike, it’ll hurt him physically. But it’ll hurt your wallet even more.
  
  
• Always keep your car boot empty, or store your junk in boxes. Don’t dump everything in. When you ever need to change your tyre, taking all the stuff is a pain.
  
  
• When you buy a new car, read the manual immediately. When your car gets older, you’ll never want to read it again.
  
  
• When your car breaks down at the side of the road, put one of the reflective triangles behind your car. If you don’t have one, break off a tree branch and stick it out of your boot. If you drive a bus, use one of the detachable passenger seats.
  
  
• Wash your car every week. If not, it will become temperamental and answer back.
  
  
• When you see a stain of black oil on your porch after you reverse out, it’s a big deal. It’ll take about RM300 not to see it anymore.
  
  
• Keep an umbrella in your car, even if you’re a man guy. You’ll need it the day you drop off your girlfriend for her important job interview. And the office building is 200 meters away across the pedestrian park - in the pouring rain.
  
  
• Drive carefully. Remember, most other drivers are morons.
