Cars are an essential part of most households and daily lives. For many, cars are a major mode of transportation. Commuters may spend up to 4 hours a day in their vehicles, stuck in traffic or rerouted. Regardless of your need, most cars require the same basic upkeep and maintenance. Safety and preparedness are also of extreme importance when on the road. In that spirit, these are several nifty little tips and life hacks you should keep in mind that make traveling an easier task.

1. You can attach a hook in the trunk of most cars to keep an extra supply of paper towels

2. Always keep the remote control for your car separate from the keys, in case you ever lose your keys

3. Take a hint from airplane engineering and give the windows of your car sun visors

4. Have any old socks lying around the house? You can use them to give your headlights a good shine

5. You can also use socks to keep your windshield wipers from freezing over in the winter

6. If you have trouble finding your car at night, just give your antennae an extension!

7. You can also extend your visor using ordinary clips for a little extra protection from the sun

8. It's advisable to keep important tools like glass cutters handy in your car for emergency situations

9. Stickers are another effective way to keep the sun out of your eyes, though they have to be placed properly

10. The safest way to open your door is called the Dutch Trick, which involves using the hand farthest from the door, as it allows you to open the door slowly and check for oncoming traffic

11. Keeping a hand vacuum in the car at all times will ensure you clean the car more frequently

12. The reason why headrests on car seats are detachable is so they can be used as pillows

13. A bottle cap in your cup holders will keep your drink elevated and help avoid gripping your drink by the lid

14. Park your car with the windshield facing east in the winter to ensure it stays defrosted

15. Make long drives easier on back using a yoga brick topped with a pillow
