You’re more likely to stay on the road if your full attention is on your driving.

If you need to make a phone call or settle the kids in the back seat or finish getting dressed, find a place to pull over safely. Take

In the same way, take careful note of the behavior of your car. Remember both the changes in the car’s behavior, as well as any associated noise that happens at the same time. For example, the simple problem of a flat tire has a distinct flapping noise, and is also accompanied by a very definite steering problem. Not all problems have both components.
