That is why every year, when looking for the best driver in Lithuania, the tests are not only theoretical, but also practical: you have to drive and identify the car parts, and indicate faults or collect the necessary attributes for the driver in the car. . The latter, by the way, Autoaibė, a retail network of auto parts, care products and accessories, counts a little more than is simply summarized in the Road Traffic Regulations (KET).

Spare wheel – required

Mantas Milerius, an Autoaibė auto-salesperson-expert, when talking about things without which the car will not be able to do without, first emphasizes the spare wheel or its repair kit. If there is a spare tire, of course, there must also be tools to change that wheel: a car lift, a wrench, a pump, or a compressor.

It is recommended that the latter be carried by a connoisseur because if the spare wheel is sometimes missing or not suitable for use in the car, it is always possible to try to repair a flat tire. For example, using special pins or specific spray glue.

“Apparently drivers often come looking for a tire repair kit, rather than some kind of wrench to turn the wheels or buy elevators. In the case of the pins, the rim can continue to be used, in the case of the tail it is recommended to go to the nearest service center and change the rim for a healthy one ”, said M. Milerius.

Bulbs, fuses and fluids

According to the expert, it would be useful to have a set of bulbs and fuses in the car. In the words of the interlocutor, some drivers have their headlight bulbs on almost every month, so especially now that the west and east are dark, replacement bulbs will come in handy for those who can change them on their own.
“It is possible that the light bulb no longer works because a fuse has blown, so in this case the fuse kit will help. Then, if necessary, it will be possible to change the fuse and continue driving,” explained M. Milerius.

Finally, the interlocutor emphasized, the main operating fluids must also be taken into account. For example, oil is one of the most important, its small capacity should be in almost all cars because of all the anger.

“The oil burns, there are, there are leaks, something else is happening, there are cars that have to fill the engine oil tank at every distance. So it is better to have them than when the warning in the instrument panel comes on, to keep going and possibly damage the engine, ”explained the expert.

The list of essential fluids and cooling. It is good to have the latter, because if there is a shortage of coolant in the engine and it starts to change, it is possible to save yourself from more serious breakdowns. According to the expert, if it has already happened that the driver does not have coolant, tap water can also be used. True, if most of the coolant is replaced with water, it should be remembered to replace it with a suitable tool.

Tools would also be needed

According to M. Miller, if the driver is not very knowledgeable, but is somewhat stuck on how to unscrew one or the other screw, a small tool kit would be useful in the car.

“I think this set should have pliers, another screwdriver with different tips, several different sized wrenches, for example, the most popular are sizes 8, 10, 13, 17, 19. It would also be useful to have a knife or pocket knives with blades and breakable metal and plastic clamps ”, emphasized the Autoaibė specialist.

Such tools would save in the event of unexpected minor accidents, such as a collision with an animal on the road. The broken part of the car can be tightened, clamped to the body, etc.

As far as the competition participants who claim the title of best Lithuanian driver know, it will be verified on September 5, at the Litexpo Exhibition and Congress Center, where the largest exhibition of automobile culture Auto Bazar will take place. The second stage of the competition awaits on September 12, at the Šiauliai Labor Market Training Center racetrack, where the final of the competition will take place on September 13.
