It’s a costly business running your car

to cut corners when it comes to maintenance, be warned – it’s a false economy as any problems will only get worse over time.

You may also be putting lives at risk from the increased chance of an accident.

Here are my tips for safe and wallet-friendly motoring:

Use a car pool to save fuel. If you’re heading to the same place as family, friends or colleagues, buddy up so you can split the cost of fuel.

Be efficient with your driving. Whether you’re heading out to pick up groceries or visiting a friend, think about other errands you need to run nearby and do these in the same trip.

Instead of spending money at the car wash, every time your sensors worn by each player. They have realistic sound effects and use real scopes to help line up your targets.
