Motorists who have struggled to obtain cheap car insurance for new drivers may be interested in the money-saving tips provided by a new website.
Alignmycar.co.uk has been developed with the aim of highlighting the importance and advantages of having properly aligned wheels.
Apparently the drivers who ensure that their wheels are positioned correctly can expect to save money on petrol and tyre maintenance. They are also less likely to lose control of their vehicles and subsequently make young drivers car insurance claims.
A spokesperson for the website said, "If all the tyres point in the right direction then there will be less 'scrubbing' action on the road surface and subsequently reduced tyre wear, as well as reduced rolling resistance, which will all go to help saving on their fuel costs."
She went on to say that with the continued inflation of tyre prices and deterioration of the roads, there have been few better times to think about wheel alignment.
This point has been supported by the Institute of Advanced Motorists, which recently found that than one in three drivers have had their cars damaged by potholes.
In related news, a price comparison website which has helped many motorists in the search for cheap car insurance for new drivers recently revealed that slow drivers are seen as one of the greatest annoyances on the UK roads.
