For some, winter is the time they would like to sleep like a bear, for others it is the time when they live more intensely than in summer, especially when they love the snow that squeaks under their boots. In winter, you can observe an increase in the number of patients of plastic clinics who undergo treatments to be beautiful for the holidays . For them, this is the time when you can transform from a duckling to a swan. Regardless of how we intend to spend the winter, it is definitely worth using this time well, and not vegetating prosaically, counting down the days to holidays.

"End of the tongue for a guide" is an old saying that is still relevant today. Sometimes a request for help results in the interest of a person who does not want to help us at all. Then what?. A holiday trip abroad gives us the opportunity not only to rest and gild our skin with the rays of the sun that warms more than in Poland, but also to buy various kinds of souvenirs. We often want to buy something valuable very cheaply, which is fully understandable - just like the fact that the seller wants to earn as much as possible on the transaction. If we lack knowledge and assertiveness, we will most likely realize that we have just overpaid for a counterfeit, service or item that we did not intend to buy.

Naive like a tourist, or how not to be deceived abroad

Do you think you know how road checks should be carried out? Not all of its principles are obvious. For example, not everyone knows that when giving orders, a policeman can use ... a whistle. After stopping the vehicle for inspection, the policeman must approach the controlled car, and the driver should wait with his hands on the steering wheel and not turn off the engine until then. Almost everyone knows it. However, not all rules are equally known. The very call to stop can be different. The driver may be called to stop, e.g. by a megaphone from a police helicopter! And while performing his duties on the road, the policeman has the right to strengthen his orders with a whistle. Remember, however, that a whistle cannot be the only form of giving any command - an officer may whistle while showing with his hand or with a signal dial ("lollipop") what the driver should do.

Holidays are associated with relaxation, warmth, sand and bare feet. Unfortunately, a large group of people is also associated with stress and complexes related to ... bare feet. The title of the article is a bit perverse, because we are dealing with something that we can encounter anywhere, not only on vacation. However, in summer, it does not allow itself to be forgotten and forces the people affected to apply practices aimed at concealing the damage caused by it. What are we talking about? About mycosis, an unpleasant and somewhat embarrassing ailment, considered to be one of the most dangerous modern diseases. And probably rightly so. According to statistics, almost every second Pole suffers from athlete's foot, and every fourth - from onychomycosis.

Unpleasant souvenir from holidays

How to prepare for a trip when a gusty wind blows? It is definitely not worth hurrying then, because nervousness and high speed can only make such a trip more difficult for us. We will do better by accepting the fact that we will reach our destination much later than usual. When winds of 90-100 km / h or more are blowing, the roads get especially dangerous. Then, if possible, it is best to give up driving and leave the car away from poles, trees or other elements that could fall over the car. However, if the wind hit us during the trip or we cannot give up the trip, then we should prepare in advance that we will be going to our destination even twice as long as in favorable weather conditions.

In the case of a fire extinguisher , it should have a capacity of min. 1 kg, have valid homologation and undergo annual technical inspections. Remember that the fire extinguisher should be placed in an easily accessible place, so definitely not in the trunk.

What do you need to have in the car?

Driving for many hours at night is always a challenge for the body. It is also a big responsibility for the driver, especially if it is taking family or friends. But what to do when, despite fatigue, you have to keep going?. Drowsiness behind the wheel can get us at different times. In addition to not sleeping, the reason may also be high outside temperature or too much heating in the car.

Polish MPs are preparing a bill that will force drivers to use appropriate tires in winter. For now, it is a voluntary matter. But when going abroad, we should check what regulations apply in a given country. If we only drive on Polish roads, for now the decision rests with us - drivers. Current regulations require that a tire - whether summer, winter or all-season - must have a tread of at least 1.6 mm. However, in winter conditions this is definitely not enough. Specialists recommend using tires with a minimum tread in winter. 3.5mm.

Economical riding in a motorhome or with a trailer

Economical but reasonable. On vacation, we can waste money or save on everything. We can also approach economics wisely and thus ensure a successful holiday. The title sounds perverse - for good reason. Certainly, we have come across exactly the opposite advice on the web, about how to organize an economic trip, how to spend as little as possible, and at the same time have a great vacation and come back with a lot of memories.
