Hoot guide to an eco-friendly car
Here at Hoot Car Insurance Services, the cheap car insurance experts, we take a positive approach towards preserving the environment around us. We feel that it is important for us working in an industry dominated by cars to be responsible and inform you on how to make your car more environmentally sound. So, like the kind souls that we are, we have comprised a checklist for you. Just take a gander; you will be surprised at just how easy it is to make your car eco-friendly by cutting carbon dioxide emissions. Weigh up your options
Reduce your car's weight by as much as possible. That doesn't mean chuck out all your passengers but it does mean giving your car a regular clear out to make sure you are not harbouring too much clutter. You would be surprised how many people carry around bits and bobs in their boot that they have never used. This is just unnecessary weight that is putting your car under extra strain and upping your car's CO2 emissions.
High maintenance
Make sure that your car is serviced regularly, at least once a year. There are so many components to a car that even the most clued up of drivers can miss, little glitches that only a true mechanic would be able to spot. For a few extra pounds, that you could have spare if you opted for low cost young driver car insurance through Hoot, you could guarantee that your car is running as it should and lower the amount of carbon dioxide that your car is giving out at the same time.
Too much pressure
Believe it or not, the amount of air that you put in your tyres can be crucial. Over or under inflating can mean that you are again putting your car under extra strain and could even lead to a car accident - which will really up your cheap car insurance premium - as your tyres are not gripping the road effectively. To maximise your car's performance on the tarmac and keep those emissions to a low get down to your local petrol station and pump those tyres so that they have the correct amount of pressure.
Slow down you move too fast
Reducing your speed, especially in suburban areas, could not only be the difference between life and death in a collision but will also mean that you won't have to brake so heavily. Again less strain, less emissions, are you getting the picture yet?
Plan ahead
Carefully map out your journey so that you avoid getting stuck in jams caused by rush hour and road works and don't have to keep taking detours as this can plump up your mileage and mean that you are emitting more noxious gasses into the environment. There are plenty of devices at hand these days if your map skills aren't up to much. Why not invest in a Sat Nav, such as a TomTom or try an online route planner such as www.theaa.com
Share and share alike
Last, and most definitely not least, make the most of your car. If you live close to someone else that you work with why not take it in turns to drive and when you go out with your friends take it in turns to be the designated driver. These options will not only help you to cut down on your fuel bills but will also help you to reduce the amount of emissions that you are pumping into the atmosphere.
