Driving Mistakes that can Damage your Car

Observation! Observations! Observations!

It makes total sense that if you are not paying attention to what is happening around you, your at risk. If there is someone else not paying attention, damage to their and your car is going to happen. You can't react to something you don’t know is happening.

Pay attention to your surroundings whilst you are driving. Take note of road signs and markings, let people know where you are going via signals and ensure you can stop safely in the distance you can see in front of you.

Any other tips or trends?
It takes two to tango. Be aware of other road users and pedestrians and where they are going, react accordingly.

Let other road users know where you are going. This is seen a lot that indicators are not being used, despite other road users guessing by speed and the position you have adopted, incidents will still happen, expensive repairs will then follow.

Test drive in a BYD Dolphin Surf.
Had a great time with BYD on Saturday 11th of April, taking the Dolphin Surf out for a test drive. Very nippy was the words that spring to mind. Yes it has all that you would expect from a BYD, but what really stood out was the performance, accelerating from a stand still and easily getting up to 60 MPH. Other car that caught our eye was the ATTO 2. Bigger and really looks good up close.
Back to the Dolphin Surf though. A new EV for less than £20,000, way to go BYD.
