The Biggest Lies you Must Not Believe about Cars!

 

Who among us does not listen to the experiences and advices of others? Certainly, the experiences and opinions of others are important and we can benefit from them. But the problem remains if we believe all the things we hear and apply them without thinking and questioning their credibility.

 

In the car world, we hear a lot of opinions, advices and experiences that we can believe at first because we want to solve some problems that we face. In this case, if you really want to hear the advice of others, you should not believe all the rumors and promotional news that can cost you a lot of money and sometimes your life and the lives of others.

 

Here are some of the most popular lies that many car owners in the world believe in:

 

1. Shooting one bullet on the fuel tank explodes your car:

Movies play a key role in influencing people in one form or another. People believe this idea because of the action films, which are often not based on realistic facts.

Some might think that firing a bullet into the fuel tank would explode the whole car.

 

Why should not you believe this lie?

It is known that ignition needs oxygen and there is no oxygen inside  fuel tank, especially if the tank is filled with fuel. So one bullet does not explode the car immediately, yet firing more than one on the fuel tank can cause a fire that can turn into an explosion.

2. Not closing the car doors very well for not being stuck inside it in case of accidents:

Some people do not lock the car doors for fear of traffic accidents, which means that they are afraid to be stuck in the car without the rescuers being able to remove them from the car due to the tightness of the doors.

 

But what's the right thing?

Not looking the car doors tightly can lead to more catastrophic results during traffic accidents as they increase the likelihood of serious injuries to the driver and passengers and the possibility of getting them out of the car and then exposing them to serious injuries or death, especially if they are on a highway. You have to know that rescuers have special tools that enable them to open the doors easily, and you can also break the car glass and get out of it through the headrest.

 

3. You can escape the radar:

The use of radars by the traffic department has recently spread in most countries, including Qatar, to increase monitoring cars and reduce traffic violations committed by drivers. That will keep people alive because drivers will abide by the speed limits and will refrain from committing offenses so that their car is not registered by radars.

People have recently believed in the idea of putting hair fixing spray on metal license plate thinking that radars will not be able to record the car because the sprayer works against the light.

 

Why should not you believe this lie?

Some have tried the hair fixing spray on the metal license plate but it have not worked at all. You can not escape from radars or cameras unless your speed is faster than the speed of capturing the camera or radar which is between 290 to 320 km!

So you should always make sure that the information presented to you is correct and you do not believe anything you hear because it can cost you a lot of money and may cost you your life and the lives of others.
