Move your foot from under the wheel, BEFORE telling your 9 year old son to let the jack down, when he has never done it before.  :lol:

Before fretting that you've bombed your front axle, always ensure that a large dog hasn't engaged difflock on your behalf.

NEVER show your son how to press the panic alarm on your car key fob

especially when he finds the fob at 4am

it was handy to scare the bejesus out of him when he was naughty, not so good when he thought it was fun
