How a negligent driver reminded me about reducing fuel consumption.
Ways to cut costs when driving.
After all my years of driving it finally happened:
CRASH!
My car was parked, just like any other day of the week when an Amarok (a large Ute) crashed through a fence and devastated the car lot. My vehicle was crushed between two vehicles and was severely damaged.
I took my car to the panel beater, and he laughed. He looked at the large dent on the door and the other damage and said, ‘It’s a write-off’ with a grin. It wasn’t funny for me, as I knew getting money from somebody else’s insurance company wasn’t going to be easy.
Buying a car was not what I wanted as my spare cash was going towards a holiday.
The whole incident got me thinking about savings. Sure, buying a new car is expensive, but saving money while driving is the best way to stay ahead of those upcoming payments.
Saving through Proximity
The first thing to consider when saving money on transport is location.
