Introduction There is a host of myths involving car buying, maintenance and ownership. These myths have been around for quite long and are mistaken as truths. With the rising number of misconceptions, the myths seem to have outnumbered the facts about cars. Let's take a look at and dispel the five surprising myths about cars.
Insurance costs of red cars are more While red cars look quite appealing, it is a common notion that these cost more to insure. Nothing can be further from the truth. Insurance companies do not consider your car's colour when they determine a quote for your car. Another myth involving red cars is that they get pulled over more often. The truth is, colour doesn't make a difference if the driver doesn't follow the traffic rules.
You should change your oil every 3000 miles New cars do not require oil changes every 3000 miles. These cars are usually equipped with new varieties of synthetic oil that can last longer than that. In fact, some modern cars can go up to 10,000 miles without an oil change. It is always advisable to refer to your car owner's manual for oil change requirements.
The font on the personalised number plates can be changed Wrong. Every character on the personalised registration plates is required to be formatted according to the DVLA specifications. You cannot vary the font according to your requirements. The rules have been made this way so that every number plate on the road can be easily identified.
Turning on the A/C is better for fuel economy Compared to driving with the windows down, turning the air conditioning on uses more fuel. It has been found that turning the A/C on leads to a slight decrease in fuel economy.
Big cars are saferthan small ones It is a common notion that big SUVs are safe to drive than small cars. However, large vehicles are usually top-heavy and make driving more dangerous. On the other hand, compact cars are equipped with a plethora of safety tools to ensure that the drivers can get out of trouble easily.
Final Word... Instead of blindly believing in the suggestions that you receive about your car, it is always advisable to research and find out the reason behind those. This can help in dispelling a lot of myths.
