Today’s the day ladies and gentlemen, the spookiest time of the year – Halloween! There’s plenty that you need to be prepared for: stashing enough sweets away for the hordes of trick or treaters, or if you have kids/a party to attend you need to make sure you have the costumes ready etc. However, there’s one eventuality you may not have prepared for – the annual egging. If you happen to find yourself a victim of egging, you’ll know how difficult it is to remove egg stains from your vehicle’s paint. Luckily, we’ve prepared several solutions that will help you remove those demonic stains. 1.      Good ol’ fashioned soap and water This is a classic solution to getting rid of most stains, but you need to be thorough and you must catch the stain early. In fact, this solution is most useful if you treat the stain within an hour of it forming. First, combine gentle soap with warm water to create your removal fluid. Make sure that the soap you use is not too ha...

It’s quite insane to imagine, but 2018 is nearly coming to a close. Regardless of whether you have a new year’s resolution lined up for 2019 or not, it’ll be year filled with advancements and new beginnings – but are you prepared to capitalise on these changes? Many publications cite electric vehicles as one such advancement that will take the world by storm in the next few years. However, many road-users aren’t aware of which method of running and charging an electric car is the most effective. We’ve lined up a few suggestions that might help you make this decision. 1.      Charge your electric vehicle at home This will be the go-to for most electric vehicle owners, with 85 per cent choosing to do so – it’s convenient and doesn’t cost much. Most electric vehicles will require a 13amp domestic power supply to be charged, which is essentially the same power supply required by hoovers or a TV. You would use a standard 3 pin plug with an EVSE cable or wal...

Unless you have a holiday planned in the next couple of months, the hot weather has unfortunately come to a close. Now we have hot fires, mulled wine and all of those delicious mince pies to look forward to. But with cold weather comes a much colder driving experience. If you’re up before the sun, this issue can be compounded even further. Most drivers will resort to idling their vehicle for a few minutes before setting off – but this can damage your vehicle, your wallet and the environment by extension. Allow us to suggest a three-step process to fix this problem in a less destructive manner. 1. Don’t sit there, drive. We’re all familiar with the 10 minute wait in the car, with breath resembling vape clouds filling your cabin every 5 seconds. But did you know that there is a way to warm up your vehicle more efficiently, whilst saving money? Fuel injection and onboard computers mean that the maximum amount of time it will take for your engine to heat up is only 1 minute. The t...

If you love dogs, there’s nothing more fun than taking your furry friend on a four-wheeled journey. But, the law is the law – and letting your precious pup bound around in the back seat unrestrained can result in a fine. A fine of £2,500 and nine points on your license is the cost you may face if the police find your four-legged pal not properly restrained in your car. Although this may sound quite extreme, the result of your pet clambering inside your car whilst you are driving can be very dangerous. It’s not surprising that many drivers are not aware of the possibility of being fined for this – research by Confused.com reveals that 34 per cent of pet-owning motorists aren’t buckling up their pets when they drive. Completely disregarding the potential fines and penalties to your license, the most crucial reason for making sure that your pets are properly restrained should be their overall safety. 22 per cent of vets that were interviewed by Direct Line stated th...

There’s no feeling more gutting, than leaving work in need of a cuppa and a warm bed, only to see a trail of cars in front of you stretching as far as the eye can see. Traffic jams are somewhat inevitable – in fact, figures released by the Department for Transport revealed that the number of vehicles on the road could increase by between 17 and 51 percent from 2015 to 2050. However, we have five tips that will help you avoid your next delay. 1.      Keep an ear out for radio alerts Whether your taste is Heart, Capital or BBC Radio – these radio stations will give you the lowdown on any incidents that might hinder your travel. You can get live updates whilst you drive, with the added benefit of hearing your favourite tunes on the road. 2.      Time your routes accordingly This doesn’t protect you from that crash on the M4, but if you fear the heavy rush hour from hell, you might want to consider rising for work an hour earlier (o...
