If your car horn doesn’t work just stick your head out the window and start screaming.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

This saves on horn fluid too. Genius.

You could just rev the engine I guess.

The real pro tips are always in the comments

SLPT: Replace your headlights with infrared lights and an infrared camera on your dashboard so you don't blind approaching drivers.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: Strong infrared light still damages the eye even if you don't see it. As a bonus, the pupils may be fully dilated due to darkness and let even more IR light hit the innards.

It takes years to get good at that though. Keep trying!

To add to this, you get more out of your horn mileage if you get in intervals, especially to your favorite rhythm. It's simply not a Saturday night without me driving blind on a winding road in the dark honking to Staying Alive.

This a great tip that my #grandpa passed down to me on his #death bed before he asked me to #smother him. Works even better on a #motorcycle you just have to take the #helmet off for better hearing and smelling.

Share your own #frugaltips on lemonparty.org!

I didn't even think to test to see if that link still works and I'm so happy that it still does.
