The Care of the Car LOW GEAR FOR CROSSING WATER The driver who attempts to ford a creek by rushing his car at it in top gear is likely to find that the car skids and gets stuck. Bottom gear should be used in crossing the water patch or in negotiating a mudhole. The bottom gear gives most power to force the vehicles through the slippery obstruction. It is power and push that is required in this situation rather than speed. REDUCING HEAD-LAMP DAZZLE Quite an effective means of reducing head-lamp dazzle is to paint or cover with a piece of brown paper the lower half of the reflector. This, as will be found, will not affect the illuminating properties of the lamp to any appreciable extent.
