Car-related life tip: if you’re stopped and waiting to turn across a lane of traffic, keep your wheels pointing forwards until you actually turn. That way of someone shunts you from behind you won’t go flying across a lane of traffic and get t-boned.

Cleaning cobwebs - if I just do it with ambient light I seem to miss loads of them. Instead at nighttime put a head torch on and they cast obvious shadows making it easier to find and brush them away.

We use windscreen shades and/or steering wheel covers for this kind of thing. I guess they're less common here but most people have some towel or something in their car (or at least bike types do) that can be stuck on the windscreen (jam in doors to hold up) or over the wheel.

Always press the button when walking past a pelican crossing, to make sure they're working for other vulnerable pedestrians.

Lids should be left clearly open or properly closed, especially on food containers or things that stain/cause injury.
Emotions are like personal weather, and they’ll pass.
If you’re concerned about your breath and can’t brush your teeth, try gently scraping your tongue and rinse out your mouth.
Use up your holiday and TOIL days, and take advantage of any medical or other benefits, before telling your job that you quit. If they fire you and give you a lump compensation, you’ll be missing out on pension contributions etc.

If you are leaving your car with a workshop or bodyshop or they are collecting it from you, record a video around the car and pay particular attention to your wheels. Also leave the locking wheelnut on the driver's seat or centre console.

Yes having remembered the articles about pingers actually being measureably stronger (4-5times) then I have realised this is lethal advice.
I know this already exists on Reddit but there's some weird and wonderful thoughts and ideas coursing through our minds that make our lives better.
This is my tip. If you can, when you park your car turn the steering wheel so that the top is at the bottom. That way if the sun is blazing hot when you come to drive that part of the wheel will be cooler.
