You can use your car in an appropriate way and save thousands of dollars annually. With this money you can easily go for a cruise with your family or do whatever you like with it.

You can use your car in a careless way. This will result in waste and will make you spend a considerable sum of money solely because of your carelessness. Further more the lifetime of your car may be considerably reduced.

But driving in a careless way does not only make you lose money, you may also put your life and that of your family in danger.

Take for instance the fuel wasted daily by the jackrabbit starters (a fast acceleration of a car from a stationary position) at the traffic lights. It gets you nothing but the childish pleasure of starting off from a red light before others do. We have to admit that all of us have done this sometimes.

And what does that childish pleasure cause you to lose? The car burns more fuel than it would have done with a proper start and the engine is revved up needlessly reducing its life span and durability.

Further more if the car is not burning the fuel properly, as is the case with these jackrabbit starts, the atmosphere around us takes the brunt of the damage too. Many diseases attributed to pollution such as asthma are constantly increasing.

The pollution is not spread just from the exhaust pipes of our cars; noise pollution is also a dilemma of the city life.

There is also the grave danger of a waste of life involved with jackrabbit starts. If you are going to race off the traffic signal consider the following:

• Are you really sure the drivers crossing you will not make a judgment error and not break the signal?

• What if you are wrong? Life is priceless.
