Urban driving in Erith may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Erith can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Erith is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.

They provide several benefits, from significantly shorter stopping distances on wet, snowy and icy roads to enhanced aquaplaning resistance and durability in cold weather.You can learn more about the benefits of winter tyres in this guide.Using season-specific tyres is the best way to ensure the safety of you and your passengers. All-season tyres are another option, but they don't perform as well as summer and winter tyres in their respective seasons.Although having two sets of tyres is more expensive initially, it's a long-term investment that ensures you won't have to buy new tyres as often. This is because seasonal tyres have a longer lifespan when used correctly. Check out this guide for advice about the best winter tyres.
