When towing a caravan, the more visibility you have whilst reversing and driving, the safer it is for you, your passengers and all other road users. At Safety Dave, we recommend rear vision cameras for anyone that is looking to tow a caravan, camper trailer or any other trailer behind their vehicle on a regular...

A normal day for most of us means a lot of driving. Even if it’s just commuting to work, the average city worker’s daily 66-minute drive to and from the office adds up to a lot of time sitting in your car. Unfortunately, these rising travel times means you’re more likely to suffer from common...

On a busy city street, parking spots are few and far between. And when you do spot a spot, it’s often a pretty close call and a pretty tight fit. The ability to squeeze into a spot when you find it – to parallel park quickly and avoid holding up traffic – can be a...

An unfortunate fact of life is that not all car parks are created equal. Some are very badly designed indeed, and it can be tricky to leave them or turn around when they’re full.

But sometimes, it’s good to think about the things you do that make life easier for the people around you. For instance, take a...

It isn’t easy to flip your brain. That’s why left-handed athletes have an advantage in all sorts of competitive sports, from tennis to fencing. When you’re used to doing something one way, flipping how you do it makes everything much harder. What you’re expecting to be on the right is suddenly on your left, and...
