‘This is life-changing’, praise drivers over nifty sun visor hack that can help you dodge a hefty fine
MOTORISTS are thrilled after discovering a “life-changing” tip that can help them avoid huge fines while on the roads.
Drivers can dodge nasty charges by adjusting their sun visors to block out distracting rays.
Most people do this often, but less know that the visor can be used in a different way.
It can be turned to prevent light from pouring in through the side window.
This could stop you from being blinded by an unexpected flash.
Those who are dazzled while driving can end up breaking road laws, resulting in fines.
The nifty trick was shared on TikTok where the user wrote: “Do you know about this summer hack?
“You can also use your sun visor to block out the sun from your side window.
“Happy driving.”
Another clever driving tip can help you dodge a £10,000 fine and possible points on your license.
It takes seconds and all you need is a 20p coin.
By using it to check your tyre depth you can make sure yours are up to code.
Having the incorrect tyre tread depth is illegal and can see you fined.
Meanwhile another motor expert has revealed an inexpensive way to get a full and clear view of the traffic ahead.
As its against the law to drive without – this could save you valuable pennies.
The 1986 Road Vehicles Regulations state: “All glass or other transparent material fitted to a motor vehicle shall be maintained in such condition that it does not obscure the vision of the driver while the vehicle is being driven on a road.”
For example, it’s easy for a vehicle’s windscreen to get smeared with road salt from the bad weather, but failing to clear these stains can result in fines upwards of £2,000.
Motorists can use a vinegar solution to tackle the stains and get their windscreen sparkling again, according to a car expert.
This 10p household item saves drivers from paying for a professional car wash and prevents them from losing thousands in fines.
