    First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting
    my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing but
    it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how
    to begin. Any ideas or tips? Thank you!

    Hi Kelvin,
    Mine telling me, when you off your Vios Car engine do you unplug the cigarette charger?
    Will the car dash cam cigarette charger adapter drain car battery?

    • Kelvin Ang says:

      Hi Colin,
      I never unplug the cigarette charger from the plug. The plug would not produce any electricity when the car is turned OFF.

      Don’t worry 🙂
