Control and cruise.
For some drivers, getting behind the wheel has become a chore. It could stem from constantly battling traffic or other drivers, boredom from traversing the same route to and from work, or dealing with car problems from wear and tear over time.
Read on to see if you can improve your driving experience with these simple tips.
Improve your own driving skills
We like to think that it’s the OTHER driver on the road that’s behaving badly. But sometimes, we do need to look in the mirror to examine if bad habits or general laziness have crept into our driving capabilities.
Our ability to drive well and remain calm and focused can make the journey feel smoother and more relaxing. By driving safely and more efficiently, we also reduce unnecessary wear and tear, or accidents and expensive repairs.
Time to go electric
Making the switch to an electric vehicle (EV) is not only better for the environment, you benefit from some immediate and long-term cost-savings.
Singapore is offering incentives to get drivers to adopt more environmentally-friendly cars. With more EVs coming into the market with longer range and cheaper pricing, maybe it is time for you to start going electric. Plus, EVs provide for a very smooth and quiet driving experience. You will feel a difference, and make a difference to the environment!
Make the most of your current car
If you are not ready to get a new car, you can do more to maintain your existing one.
Keeping your car clean, and send it in for its scheduled servicing on time. A well-maintained and well-serviced car can continue to feel new for many years and is safer and more comfortable to drive.
Vary your route
Sometimes we just want to get to point A to point B in the shortest possible time. Monotony can creep in if we push the same gravel on a daily basis.
Try taking a different route even if it takes those extra few minutes of your time. Over the weekend, or if you are taking a day off, try driving to check out some hidden dining places or less popular parks.
Instead of the tedium of driving, make it a medium for a relaxing and fun drive instead.
