When buying a car, check certain things you might not think to check. Like the turning radius.

No matter how tempting it may be, when listening to music (portable device) via headphones, don't turn up the volume while working with noisy (>93db) electric tools.

Also, when sitting in work and listening to music with headphones on, dont think that you just dropped a silent one. It wasnt silent.

When driving, never brake with your right foot, instead of your left.



That advice makes for some fun experiences.

That makes three of us.  Never known anyone who uses their left foot on the brake.  No wonder there's so many accidents.

They're taking the 'P' I'd say -- not a one of them would have passed the test at that craic.

is it not the most common way to brake with the right foot?

I thought it was only the rally driver types who broke with the left foot and dabbed between brake and accelerator for that rally experience.

Can anyone from Tyrone confirm?

You'll fail the test braking with left, sharpish.
