Car gas stations are places that car owners visit quite often.

For many drivers, this has become a familiar routine, and many actions at a gas station are performed almost mechanically.

However, even the most experienced driver should analyze his behavior when refueling from time to time.

You may be making mistakes or taking unnecessary risks. Check out the list of common mistakes to avoid them in the future.

Don’t close car doors

When approaching the cash register to pay for fuel, many drivers leave the windows and doors of their car open.

Although most often this does not lead to serious consequences, it is best to lock the car doors with a lock or using a key fob.

Your short-term absence can be used by an unscrupulous person who will enter the salon and steal something. Or even steal your car.

Do not check the location of the refueling nozzle

After refueling, many drivers leave immediately.

However, before you get behind the wheel, it is important to make sure that you return the fuel nozzle to its place.

In a hurry, you might forget that the gun is still in the tank. This may cause it to come off when you start to move.

While this won’t necessarily lead to serious consequences, you will most likely have to pay damages.

Careless driving

Many drivers forget that maneuvering around a gas station requires special caution.

To avoid collisions with other cars, be alert and careful when driving your vehicle.
