Research shows only 21% of women would think of checking their tyre pressure - here is your chance to learn how!
We will see if you're sitting too close or far away from the steering wheel. Show you how to minimise blind spots. Teach you how to check the oil and water. What tyre pressure to use and show you where your jack is. Did we hear you say, 'Jack who?'
