The most harmful advice of the "masters". Do not do this with your machine! "… never is the very word that God listens to if he wants to laugh." Stephen King Man, by nature, does not like to be taught. And except for politeness, he listens to advice, then to act in his own way. Nevertheless, I decided to share my thoughts on what a well-educated motorist should never do. I will be glad if there are those who wish to supplement or clarify the proposed list.
So, NEVER:
Do not drop your car at a gas station at a gas station to drink coffee
Once I could not stand it and asked the operator girl on the forehead: why, they say, do you offer everyone coffee, croissants and more, if you clearly see that other cars are already behind the client’s car? Let him refuel, take the car to the parking lot, then return and have dinner even until night! She agreed, but - this, they say, is not what we decide … We must ask each client a set of standard questions and pronounce equally standard phrases.
The girl is not to blame. But does the motorist, who flopped down at the table to eat, not understand that his behavior humiliates all those who had the misfortune to get in to the gas station behind him? I believe that this is banal rudeness.
Why not go outside and drive the car about 15 meters, and then sit down at the table and relax as much as you like? Why not go outside and drive the car about 15 meters, and then sit down at the table and relax as much as you like?

But at the same time, I strongly advise you not to open the hood at the sink, where smart guys are ready to pour anything from Karcher into the money. The consequences can be bad: water that has penetrated under pressure into the gaps of some units and units can make it impossible for you to leave the washing machine under its own power. Moreover, the washers know this very well: the smartest of them post ads: they say, my motors are only under the responsibility of the client! And the advice is simple: never wash the motors anywhere! If only the officials.
Do not leave trinkets, trifle and other lighters in conspicuous places in the cabin
It is clear that in a rare salon, Madame Petukhova’s treasures are left in sight. But the trouble is that even a penny lighter or a few rubles trifles, which by and large are not a pity to part with, often push some “good people” to break the side window of the car. Humiliating, insulting and generally … The recipe is simple: do not leave anything in sight. By the way, to some extent, the advice applies to brackets for radar detectors or DVRs. The meaning is simple: since there is a bracket, then the corresponding device is also in the glove compartment, which is not a sin to borrow …

Do not clash on the road
On the road there is always a boor who gets in your face, expresses dissatisfaction with your ride, actively gestures, uses impolite terminology and generally runs into an active dialogue. The tip is simple: deviate from communication. Let him feel like a winner, president and anyone else. Save your nerves, car, and in some cases your own physiognomy.

Do not occupy the far left row for a long time

7 typical mistakes of novice (and experienced) drivers My opinion: the far left row should be taken only to get ahead of vehicles going to the right. Overtake - push to the right. Because every Mercedes will always have its own Ferrari, which will run into your ass, threatening sanctions. A quiet ride in the left lane does not happen by definition. In other ranks, it’s calmer - all the “racers” will wag to the left.
Do not leave the traffic light while unscrewing the motor
The desire to leave the traffic light first is a kind of atavism, savagery. It is clear that you don’t need to sleep and that everyone is in a hurry, but why force a poor motor to accelerate to a permitted speed for a split second faster than others? Who do you want to surprise with your “coolness”? In his youth, he competed on daddy Lada with taxi drivers - it was a matter, but now it’s a shame to remember about it.

Do not torture a cold engine
He wrote about this a hundred times, but apparently not enough. Never try to demand the impossible from an unheated ICE - especially if the street is frankly cold. The motor must be warmed up - at least a little … Not a single representative of the manufacturer will openly agree with you and will prove that his cars do not need any warm-ups. But on the sidelines he politely hinted that the laws of physics were not repealed by his firm. And any engineer will confirm this. However, if you do not spare the motor, then there is nothing to argue about.
Do not refuel at “muddy” gas stations
An indestructible desire to find fuel “one ruble cheaper” overcomes any logic. The main argument of the debaters: all gasoline - from one barrel! I have no desire to argue with this statement. But I advised and advise everyone to refuel exclusively at branded gas stations. I can also recall that at the current price of fuel, the mentioned ruble will give only a couple of percent savings.
If you believe that patrons working at such gas stations distributing fuel at a low price for the love of their neighbor, then, of course - refuel … If you believe that patrons working at such gas stations distributing fuel at a low price for love of the neighbor, then, Of course - refuel …
Do not use additives or potions

Road deaths are declining. But lagging behind the schedule I don’t want to “roll the barrel” at some specific manufacturers of various “drugs”. I can only say that even if there is a test report fixing various reductions and improvements, for some reason, the testers themselves are in no hurry to pour such funds into their cars. I will add that we are not talking about warranty cars at all: any sample of oil or fuel containing something suspicious will instantly put an end to all your claims for free repair if something goes wrong. Of all such auto chemical goods, you can safely fill in only antigels and octane-correctors, in any case, in my experience. However, tuning lovers have their own opinion.
