How do I tune my radio?

[shtu]

Stupid question I know.

However, I've never tuned my radio and was wondering about a few of the more subtle elements...

1:
When you park the car is it best to leave the radio tuned to "AM or "FM"? Does using "LW" when you park chock the wheels more effectively than Medium or Short, or does it depend upon the wheel size?

2:
If you stop at traffic lights, etc., should you turn the volume down to save fuel? I have no idea if the volume knob will be worn excessively with the extra turning, especially in stop-start driving.

3:
If parking, should I activate auto-reverse even if the cassette is on a song I really like?

Great questions, I need the answers to these too, as I’m worried about driving my car otherwise

Also:

- If I engage TP, will it automatically reroute my car as a result?

- Will playing a mix tape invalidate my insurance?

- Did RDS cause Covid?

Whatever you do, do not press the eject button.

My car has a button marked ….SOUND…however when i press it i’m yet to hear the words….AS A POUND why is this?..

Listening to the radio while driving is very distracting and can get you six points on your licence. Driving in complete silence is not only safer, but will improve fuel economy by up to 20%.

My radio only plays Radio 4. I paid extra for the privilege.

You can remap your radio too and get an extra 50 bhp (if it’s a turbo).

Adjusting the treble can make your car up to three times quicker. Don't forget to pull out the aux cable to prevent thieves driving off

My radio is connected to my Hybrid, so goes to 11.

Don't forget that if you retune your radio and don't inform your insurance company your insurance is void!!

My issue is these modern newfangled digital radios which remove all user involvement, complete lack of feeing and emotion.

I miss the days where the radio experience was analogue.

Count yourself lucky.
Whenever I press the DAB button my hands and head automatically go into this position.



Do you know how many accidents I've nearly caused?

As you clearly forgot you posted that just an hour before, you’re gonna have to resit your driving test

Try replacing your DAB button with this button...

Only available in the mornings.

I can only drive whilst listening to prog rock. Am I normal?

Every time I approach a level crossing, I press the "skip track" button. But it must be defective, as the car still thuds and clatters across the bloody tracks, and I still have to queue if there's a train coming. Useless.

You need the 8 track version for that to work.
