HOW TO CHANGE YOUR HEADLIGHT BULB IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES
Your car's headlights are one of the most important pieces of safety equipment on the vehicle. If one or both of the bulbs have burned out, you may be fined by the police—or worse, end up in a collision. Fortunately, changing your car's headlight bulbs is a fairly easy task. It's also a lot cheaper than asking a mechanic to do it for you.
It's a good idea to check your car's headlights once a week or so. And do it in the daylight—you don't want to get caught out at night with a burnt-out bulb. Even in daylight, the check is as easy as turning them on and looking at them. Finding out what type of replacement bulb to use isn't much harder. Check your owner's manual first. If you can't find the information there, you can find it at your local auto-parts store. You'll need to know the year, make, and model of your vehicle. Or just bring in the burnt-out bulb and match it to a new one.
Note: This tutorial is for lights found in halogen systems, where the bulb is loaded into the back of the lens. If your car has sealed-beam headlights, this won't help (but that job is super easy, too—any good car repair manual for your make and model will tell you how). If your actual headlight glass needs to be replaced along with the bulb, that's an easy fix, too, as is replacing a bad tail light or turn signal.

HOW TO AVOID ROAD RAGE
It is very easy to get frustrated on the road while driving, especially in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria, especially when stuck in traffic or driving through tightly-packed roads in major cities. Even with all that goes on during your normal commute, it's important to keep yourself controlled and calm and not escalate any situations you may find yourself in.
Sometimes both parties are at fault in a road rage incident, but other times one party is unaware that he has offended the other driver. Road rage may be as harmless as a rude finger gesture as one driver passes another, or as deadly as an assault with a gun.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T DRIVE AROUND WITH A CHIPPED WIND SHIELD
The windshield is an important part of a car which provides protection.
Windshields are specially designed to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers even if extreme impact causes them to chip, crack or shatter. The major drawback of a cracked windshield is that it doesn't provide safe driving anymore. A crack on windshield has been noted to either distort your vision or hinders your vision to have a clear view of the road. There are two layers of glass laminated together. If one layer of glass breaks, the laminate and the inside layer of glass hold the windshield together, keeping pieces of glass from injuring occupants of the car or falling on the road.
