Motorists are being warned that some everyday driving habits could cost them thousands in vehicle repairs.
Experts at LeaseCar.uk say careless and lousy driving mistakes are affecting the durability and performance of cars and this can drastically increase costs. Innocent habits, like resting hands on the gearstick, could damage vital components leading to bad transmission, which could set motorists back over £2,000.
Tim Alcock, from LeaseCar.uk, said: "Many drivers aren’t aware how damaging certain habits can be to their vehicles. Often, people who have been on the roads for years can get lazy and adopt habits and driving styles which can be detrimental to a vehicle and could cost thousands to fix.
