Editorial policy
How Right Posters chooses, researches, writes, draws, corrects and updates its posters.
What a poster has to do
A poster answers one question many drivers ask, in plain words, from sources you can check.
Every poster on Right Posters starts from a general question about cars that drivers in many countries share, such as how to look after a car. It answers that question in full, as a practical guide, and stays on it.
How posters are researched
Posters are built on car makers’ manuals and on the published advice of tyre, oil, filter and parts makers, together with other established reference sources. Each source is listed at the foot of the poster with a link and the date it was read. Where makers disagree, or a figure depends on the car, the poster gives the typical range and says where to find the figure for your own car.
How posters are written
Each section opens with its takeaway, one sentence you could pin on a wall, followed by short paragraphs that explain why and how. Terms are explained the first time they appear. Measurements are given in metric units, with imperial ones where English-speaking readers expect them. Posters are written for drivers anywhere, so they avoid prices, local rules and anything that only holds in one country.
Posters are drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Every fact, figure and step is then checked against the sources listed on the poster before it is published.
How posters are drawn
Every drawing on Right Posters is made for it, printed in two inks, pink and blue. Drawings never show people or brands. When a drawing has numbered parts, the caption explains each number, and every drawing has a text description for readers who cannot see it.
What posters leave out
Right Posters explains the checks you can do yourself from the outside of the car. Work that needs a qualified mechanic, such as the brakes, the airbags, anything done under a raised car and the high-voltage parts of electric and hybrid cars, is named as such and not explained. Posters do not rank brands or models and do not recommend shops.
Corrections and updates
If a poster is wrong, it is corrected as soon as the mistake is confirmed, and the poster shows the date it was updated. Figures are read again when a poster is updated, and the date beside each source changes with them. Send corrections to contact@rightposters.com.
Independence
Advertising pays for Right Posters, but advertisers have no say in which questions it answers or what the posters say, and they do not see posters before they are published. The advertising disclosure explains how advertising appears on the website.
