@ MrSupercar55 - The death of all your hopes and dreams thrugh working for a sh1tty company for 20 years ? That just kills you on the inside....... Which I sometimes think is worse. :(
Winter driving tip: When turning a corner on slippy, icey roads. Break about 10 to 15 metres prior to approaching the corner. Once you've slowed to a safe turning speed. Start to make the turn removing your foot off the breaks and steer the vehicle around the corner safely. Don't touch the gas until your turn is complete. This will keep the vehicle under control and greatly reduce the risk of skidding as you make the turn.
Here's an actual hack. When driving a stick shift, you can make your car go even faster from the highest gear by shifting into Racing gear, indicated by the R on the stick.
+kevin norris. :-) Actually, for some of those crazy Russian crash videos, they aren't allowed to drive Manual shift cars. They have to drive Automatics since the letters on the shifter mean the following: P-R-N-D-L. Please Require New Driving Lessons! :-)
I can confirm this one. The manufacturers don't want you to know about it (as it is a closely guarded secret meant for spies to use), but that extra gear gives you at least 20% more speed.
Tip 17 - use a good shampoo to avoid having your hair messed up by wind. Tip 18 - wash your teeth as the are critical when driving and can work as light reflectors in low-light situations. Tip 19- keep something to eat in your car. A hungry stomach is always a potential distraction. Tip 20 - use a good wax for your boots as its essential to let air flow smoothly around them when pushing the pedals. Tip 21 - have a laser guided missile launcher. Just in case a war breaks out, out of the blue. Tip 22 - using the right perfume can affect your attention and relaxation while driving. So be sure to be aware of what you are spraying. Tip 23 - look out for bugs in your car as the can be a distraction while driving.
It was a rainy day once, I asked a person next to me sitting in traffic if I could borrow a potato to clear the fog on my windows. To my surprise, he yelled to me, “ use your fking defroster!”
Regarding #14 - if you have power steering, this puts high pressure on one side of the steering piston and results in earlier failure of the seals etc. Better to always park with the wheels facing directly to the front.
Except that it's only a theory and desperate hope that it'll work as we don't get any real sun. In winter even forget what the sun is and get extremely surprised when spring comes around
baconfromhell666 Sunglasses don't work all the time....I have a heavy glass perscription and am completely dependent on my glasses...even in the shower (double astigmatism in both eyes) I tried transition lenses once to combat the sun....and I hated them....colors were not true. I was smoking in the park one day and did not realize the cops uniform was blue...it looked green..so I got caught puffin...lol...but the point is...the sunglasses messed up my perspective on colors....it also, to me, didn't do shyt.. the sun still irritated my eyes at times.... I am also one of those people who can't enjoy 3D movies cuz it's a pain and a headache to wear those glasses over my glasses... The acrylic paper....I may try...I have seen it and wondered why...
In fairness the sun is ALWAYS in that annoying spot between the sun visor and the rear view mirror. Of course when I say "always" I actually mean "for a second or 2" (if your heading in the right direction, at the right time of day, at the right time of year, on 1 of the 2 days it's not cloudy/overcast in the UK).
Use nail polish to cover scratches that might match the the paint? OR you can just go down to the auto arts store and get a bottle of touch up paint that EXACTLY matches the paint because it IS the paint. DUH!
Or like most scratches, it's only the clear coat that is damaged. A $15 trip to Walmart for some heavy grit car polish and a buff pad will enable you to get way better results then nail polish that will damage the paint more.
If the scratch or chip is all the way through the paint exposing bare metal, it could start to rust given enough time. That scratch you could barely see is now an eyesore. If you care about your car's appearance at all, spend ten or fifteen bucks and cover it.
You're actally supposed to do that when you parallel park. Unless you're on a decline, you turn the wheels away from the curb (do the opposite if you're on a decline).
@@ymisoflyg8612 omg that is really a trick they should mention in these kind of videos. thnx. now everytime i think i might park wrong and get towed away, im gonna turn my wheel all the way out, and then they cant tow

You don't need kitty litter. Most cars have floor mats. Wedge one under each drive wheel and drive off. Just remember to stop and get them once you are back on grippy surface. Honda floor mats seem to work best.
No did you guys hear you must first peal the potato boil it let it cool down cut it up pick it up in your hand walk outside to your car unlock your car. Sit down in your car close the door. Take your potato and wipe it all over your windows then eat the potato and you’ll be all good to go.
@@ryans413 you don't get it. All you need a basket of potatoes and throw in on the windscreen. To make it easier, make steel potatoes and throw them on the windscreen.
great fuel saving tip: mix 50% fuel and %50 water creating a diluted fuel mixture making it more economic and save BIG $$$!!! also if your paint is looking a bit dull just coat the car in nail polish and it will look brand new!!!!!
Joseph Stalin dude, you read my mind XD. I'm like " does it in eliminating over steer or keeping better sensitivity between you and the road because of hand positions or the consistency of???" Nope, just some bull shut about owning a car and being a pissy at the same time. P.s. read that last part in his voice
I also clicked because of the steering wheel as I was curious as to what type of "hack" it would be. Pretty interesting. Although I gotta wait 5 months before temperatures become really hot again lol (hurray for winter)
Leevi Lehto Every driving instructor and mentor that I have ever had has told me the secret passed down from generation to generation to rub a potato all over your windscreen. I don't know what kind of teachers you have had 😏
Yeah I’ve never heard of the potato trick but that’s absurd. If your windows are fogging there’s moisture which means you need to use heat on the windshield in the winter to warm it up or the recirculation in the summer while using ac to take the moisture out. If you still get fogging issues something isn’t working right or you need to just clean your windows with soap and water
Acrylic sheet on the windshield- check with your state laws, in some states that is illegal. You can get a ticket for any tinting anywhere on the front windshield - even temporary solutions such as the one suggested here..
I though the same thing. And no excuse to not have your sunglasses. This video literally has a "trick" that shows you can hang them on a cloths pin. lol
Tell that to my insurance company that maintains that I have an excellent driving record for enough decades to get their best rates. I've also had a garage where I would've used the tennis ball had I thought about it, because it only fit my truck by 6 inches front to back.

#14: when parking on a slope you should do this anyway: turn your wheels towards the kerb. Don't dry steer if you can avoid it though: you'll get circles in your tyres and possibly embedded stones
Nice hacks, but: #15 If you got a cracked windshield, nothing than just a professional will fix that - no experiments, if you won't have glas in your eyes!!! #10 When you feel sleepy -> STOP DRIVING! No lemon, No coffee, no RedBull, no Cigarette - NOTHING will prevent you from falling asleep! I had my experience there by driving home 200mls after renovating a friends flat! Park somewhere and sleep 15-20min - that helps more! #8 Good idea, but try to lay a piece of wood on the ground. As the frontwheels will run onto it, you'll stop immediately... better than a hanging ball from the roof #7 Every car is built differently, but within the same kind of basic technology. On one you need to change the oil after 10k km, the other one after 15k km. Change the oil after the interval as the producer of your car is telling you to do, and you'll have it for a long time and a long mileage! #6 New to me here in Europe (Germany)! Every Gasoline Manufacturer mixes certain Adds to their gas (Shell, Aral, BP, Total, ...). It will grease your pistons and won't burn totally. That means, by burning it, a little substance will be left (what greases your pistons) -> if you got a clear burning, your pistons are not greased (instead of motor oil, what you hopefully control and change within the advised interval)... and that is BAD, because your engine is about to run hot. Otherwise, if you got unclear gas overseas ... boycott those gasstations! #2 Good god - potatos on the windshield! NOO! You just replace a foggy windshield to a greased windshield. As the sun strikes it, you'll have a wonderful rainbow on your windshield and you won't see anything like it's foggy! Heat the windshield up with either a heated windshield (upgradeable at some cars - got one in my Ford Focus) or by using your ventilation ... not good for nature, running your engine this time - but better for your life! #1 XD!!!!!! You can try to organize a ride with your kids ... you can set the basics for it, but once in the car, your kids will OWN your backseats, no matter how you organized them XD! Greetings from an experienced german driver *.*d!
#14 There is another term for this hack. It is call Dry Steering. It will knock a few years off your front tires as well as your steering system if you do it frequent enough. That is a questionable trade off for not having a hot steering wheel under the sun. Why not cover it up with a... well anything say a jacket or a towel or some heat isolation sheet?
@ your response to #8, that's not the point. The point of the tennis ball is for new drivers to learn the size and feel of the vehicle. So having a physical stopper defeats that purpose. You want them to be able to "sense" when to stop, not feel exactly when to stop.
Harzer Hamster A cracked windshield will never leave to glass in your eyes. For many, many decades, car windshield are made of "safety glass," which clings together in a solid sheet, even in the event it is completely smashed, like in the event of a car accident.
My dad taught me this. Blinded by headlamps coming at you? Don't look at them. Look instead at the kerb (or white lane line, yellow road side lines etc down to your left UK, right US etc) . This way the most sensitive part of your eye isn't being compromised by light, it's looking away (at the kerb). The bright light is now in the corner of your eye! You can track the road much easier. Of course, get your eyes back on the road as soon as the blinding light has gone.
WD-40 removes Sharpie from ANY surface. Going to google uses/lifehacks bound to be better than this top 3 REAL LIFE HACKS, are in comments: Kitty litter and sandbags in a truck or car increase traction during adverse conditions like snow or rain. Litter, non clumping, also is excellent for traction but can be used for oil spill clean ups & is also very messy. Checking tire tread can be done with a penny, put Lincon in head first. If his nose is covered u are good.
The only damage is caused to the tyres.. The Steering rack/box and all the linkages are stress tested and designed to be turned. Stationary or not won't make a difference
To prevent scratches or kids scratching your car (trust me it happens because I did it when I was a little kid for some reason) just buy xpel wrap and wrap your car. It's just like a screen protector for your phone.
xDrifz Really? Youre going to spend $5000 wrapping your miata? Just because you care about your car doesnt mean you have the money for that to be a good investment. Its only for expensive cars because only expensive cars have paint jobs more expensive than the wrap.
Briefing Spoon no you dont you get a chance to get noticed by the algorithm and to be put on trending then you get money from everyone seeing your video and watching it
1:38 I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you turn it away from the street or it is in a parking lot (it leaves drivers hesitant to drive past a car if they are seeing that your wheels are faced in the direction of their car and unsure if there is a person in the vehicle about to pull out).
They should have added the suggestion: If you aren't sure if the gas is good, pour some gas on the carpet, and use a match to see if it will burn....smh. :-)
Never have I ever grabbed the steering wheel and thought that it was too hot, and if you have to parallel park in front of your house, then having your wheels turned to a side isn't really a good idea. And why would you waste your time and money finding nail polish when you can just go to a dealership, and get a small paint dispenser that matches your car exactly and is meant for scratches. Oh, and if you have to go out of your way to get acrylic sheets, then maybe you could put that effort towards finding something like, ooohhh, I dunno GLASSES???
It actually is a good idea to keep your wheel at an angle when in a parallel park. Because if your breaks were to give out mid park and if your wheel was slanted, your car would go to the side and hit the curb, opposed to rolling forwards or backwards and hitting another car.
Legitimately useful stuff. Oiling the rubber seals on the car may damage older (real) rubber, so it may be advised to use silicone lubricants instead, or replace the real rubber seals with alternatives, preferably made of nitrile, or if not that, neoprene. The potato trick might also work with shaving cream, as shaving cream prevents mirror fog in the humid conditions of the bathroom; condensation in a warm car on a winter day isn't any different.
Just a heads up, NEVER do #14. You never want to turn your tires if your car isn't moving, unless you like replacing tires well before you would normally.
To add to #10, if you're ever driving and cannot keep your eyes open any longer, a great trick up north is to, as long as it's cold outside, just roll down all of your windows! It's impossible to fall asleep while you're shivering! My mom taught me this trick and as someone who used to drive deliveries for really long hours sometimes, this one simple trick can literally be a life-saver! Save driving out there, guys and gals! :)
Pretty sure 13 is illegal. Your front windshield can't be tinted below a certain point, unless you live in a state with certain exemptions, like being an LEO or PI.
MrMJmusicLover I looked into it. It looks like a few states like Colorado allow light tint on the windshield, but most states only allow the top 5 or 6 inches. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/glass-window-tinting/&ved=0ahUKEwirj6zOo-7WAhWk6oMKHbHKB4QQFggxMAI&usg=AOvVaw18yNURVq-9QlbLPiwzSyyB
because they have special deals with the authorities. Just because new cars have it doesn't mean anything. With that logic, cheating on emissions would be legal, because every new car does it.
That would imply that it was possessive, meaning that the doors' are alive! Doors have 4 sides and 2 handles. 4x2=8. Eight has 5 letter, just like doors'. 5+5=10. Do u know what has 10 letters in it? That's right, illuminati. DEAR GOD!!! DO U REALISE WHAT THIS MEANS??? Illuminati is being run by sentient doors'!
Finally! A use for all those lemons that I keep in my car. I've always told my friends when they ask about it - "You never know when you're gonna need a lemon".
its *NOT* manganese, its potassium-permanganate (KMnO4), a very oxydative agent, its aqueous solution (a purple colured liquid) is usually used for disinfection. you can buy it (at least here in hungary) in any pharmacy. manganese is the name of the metal (Mn) and does nothing with water. you must have learnt this in primary school,
Joke: a guy walks into an auto-parts store. He says to the clerk, 'Hey, I need a gas cap for my Peugeot. The clerk leans back, scratches his chin for a moment, then says, 'Yeah, sure. That sounds like a fair trade!'. :-)
to go on on your comment(it might help people), in eastern europe, southern france, and spain, only take gasoline or diesel from Shell or Esso pumps. Those are the only ones you can be 100% sure of good quality, all the rest is probably some left over, fraudulent gasoline/diesel.
bane, well, we do have these problems in europe, in southern france and spain for example, but indeed, in most countries, regulations are so strong, you can refuel safely everywhere, unless they switch petrol and gasoline by accident....
Yeah most cars today have all kinds of little storage places. I had a Hyundai (I don't remember the model or year. It was a boxy 2003, 2004 or 2005 & had 4 doors.) that had a doored compartment above the rear view mirror, specifically for your sunglasses.
when life gives you lemons, put them in the glove compartment so that when you feel drowsy you can pull out a chopping board and a knife and cut a slice of lemon and eat it.
A better solution for hot steering wheels is to use a front window shade, or put a towel over the steering wheel. Unless you don't know how to drive, you'll have to use the whole steering wheel when backing out of a parking space and it's going to be hot somewhere on the wheel unless you shade it somehow!
Do they think we’re unintelligent, or is their key demographic newborns?.... seriously, I’ve seen several of their videos, and this is actually insulting to our intelligence.
Yeah this video is aids. Placing hands on 9 and 3 is where the driver has the most control. So according to the pictures, this video is trolling people.
The only time one should turn their wheels while parked is when the car is parked on an incline or decline as to not have the car roll into traffic should something happen. The parking break should be applied anyway to hold the car in place but not everyone knows that or has common sense.
I know a new trick! Crash you car into a random person whilst making sure it looks like they crashed into you and that they don’t have a dash-cam. Make a claim, and fraudule- *cough* legitimate money will appear before you! This really works!!!!

"After you find some to match, be sure to use put some on the scratch. After the polish dries, just buff the scratch a little to make it smooth!"
I recommend expanding polymer gel of some sort. And superglue for small slits and cuts.

It was a rainy day once, I asked a person next to me sitting in traffic if I could borrow a potato to clear the fog on my windows.
To my surprise, he yelled to me, “ use your fking defroster!”
That was very rude! Next time, always bring a potato when it's raining.
Defroster don't work fast unless you have an air conditioner compressor to condition the air to have less humidity to make it dry way faster.
Only once! wow you're lucky, you obviously don't live in the UK. LOL
use the defogger/defroster instead because it's better than a potato
Regarding #14 - if you have power steering, this puts high pressure on one side of the steering piston and results in earlier failure of the seals etc. Better to always park with the wheels facing directly to the front.

on my car I have a thing called a Sunvisor... useful when driving in Sunny conditions
Just pull the "SUN VISOR" down!..simples
Can't. they are clipped to the sun-visor.
Or just move to England.
Instead of using an Acrylic sheet, how about pulling down this thing at the top of the windscreen called a "sun visor"?
well duuuhhhh but if i do that where do i put my glasses??????
In fairness the sun is ALWAYS in that annoying spot between the sun visor and the rear view mirror. Of course when I say "always" I actually mean "for a second or 2" (if your heading in the right direction, at the right time of day, at the right time of year, on 1 of the 2 days it's not cloudy/overcast in the UK).
North Yorkshire Dash Cams better yet, pull it down and then take the sunglasses off of it from the other hack and use both
Spicy Taco 😂😂😂😂😂 that's a legit point
For that spot between the sun visors I use a thick page like construction paper rolled over and wedged between the mirror and windshield.
None of them have anything to do with "driving".
so you can't see the link between cars and driving?
Yes I can see it. But this is more like car hacks. Not driving hacks though there is a link there is also a difference

If you care, get the matching color. Otherwise just use clear nail polish or other clear lacquer to prevent rust.

Super video, Bro!
Did anyone else click because they thought Installing the steering wheel upside down would give you better handling?
Joseph Stalin I came here because I am procrastinating. I don't want to do my homework. 🤙
Joseph Stalin dude, you read my mind XD. I'm like " does it in eliminating over steer or keeping better sensitivity between you and the road because of hand positions or the consistency of???" Nope, just some bull shut about owning a car and being a pissy at the same time. P.s. read that last part in his voice
I also clicked because of the steering wheel as I was curious as to what type of "hack" it would be. Pretty interesting. Although I gotta wait 5 months before temperatures become really hot again lol (hurray for winter)
Jinkstack S have u done it yet?
Joseph Stalin no but I wanted to see what it was because when I bought my car the steering wheel was installed upside down
No experienced driver has ever told anyone to rub sum potato on their windshield
Leevi Lehto
Every driving instructor and mentor that I have ever had has told me the secret passed down from generation to generation to rub a potato all over your windscreen. I don't know what kind of teachers you have had 😏
Does it work?
Kenneth Lucas no... no... they just sit there and laugh at me ;-;
Yeah, just get a anti fogging coating.
Yeah I’ve never heard of the potato trick but that’s absurd. If your windows are fogging there’s moisture which means you need to use heat on the windshield in the winter to warm it up or the recirculation in the summer while using ac to take the moisture out. If you still get fogging issues something isn’t working right or you need to just clean your windows with soap and water
Awesome video
Acrylic sheet on the windshield- check with your state laws, in some states that is illegal. You can get a ticket for any tinting anywhere on the front windshield - even temporary solutions such as the one suggested here..
but sunglasses are fine =)
That's exactly what happens here.
I though the same thing. And no excuse to not have your sunglasses. This video literally has a "trick" that shows you can hang them on a cloths pin. lol
That's one of the reasons that it's ridiculous to live in CA these days.
if you need to hang a tennis ball in the garage to not hit the wall you shouldnt be driving lol
john russo 😂 bro true but if even if u need to just use ur lights to see how close u r because it’s not as embarrassing
Lol i never knew why ppl di that till now
Ive been driving for a few months and can already pull in my garage and not hit anything, it’s a tight fit too
Tell that to my insurance company that maintains that I have an excellent driving record for enough decades to get their best rates. I've also had a garage where I would've used the tennis ball had I thought about it, because it only fit my truck by 6 inches front to back.
This is the 21st century cars have parking sensors so we don't need to hang a tennis ball in our garage

Why did I watch this to the end? Why did I watch any of it?
Hope my friend. You watched till the end with the hope that you will find at least one driving hack.
#14: when parking on a slope you should do this anyway: turn your wheels towards the kerb. Don't dry steer if you can avoid it though: you'll get circles in your tyres and possibly embedded stones
Nice hacks, but:
#15 If you got a cracked windshield, nothing than just a professional will fix that - no experiments, if you won't have glas in your eyes!!!
#10 When you feel sleepy -> STOP DRIVING! No lemon, No coffee, no RedBull, no Cigarette - NOTHING will prevent you from falling asleep! I had my experience there by driving home 200mls after renovating a friends flat! Park somewhere and sleep 15-20min - that helps more!
#8 Good idea, but try to lay a piece of wood on the ground. As the frontwheels will run onto it, you'll stop immediately... better than a hanging ball from the roof
#7 Every car is built differently, but within the same kind of basic technology. On one you need to change the oil after 10k km, the other one after 15k km. Change the oil after the interval as the producer of your car is telling you to do, and you'll have it for a long time and a long mileage!
#6 New to me here in Europe (Germany)! Every Gasoline Manufacturer mixes certain Adds to their gas (Shell, Aral, BP, Total, ...). It will grease your pistons and won't burn totally. That means, by burning it, a little substance will be left (what greases your pistons) -> if you got a clear burning, your pistons are not greased (instead of motor oil, what you hopefully control and change within the advised interval)... and that is BAD, because your engine is about to run hot. Otherwise, if you got unclear gas overseas ... boycott those gasstations!
#2 Good god - potatos on the windshield! NOO! You just replace a foggy windshield to a greased windshield. As the sun strikes it, you'll have a wonderful rainbow on your windshield and you won't see anything like it's foggy! Heat the windshield up with either a heated windshield (upgradeable at some cars - got one in my Ford Focus) or by using your ventilation ... not good for nature, running your engine this time - but better for your life!
#1 XD!!!!!! You can try to organize a ride with your kids ... you can set the basics for it, but once in the car, your kids will OWN your backseats, no matter how you organized them XD!
Greetings from an experienced german driver *.*d!
#14 There is another term for this hack. It is call Dry Steering. It will knock a few years off your front tires as well as your steering system if you do it frequent enough. That is a questionable trade off for not having a hot steering wheel under the sun. Why not cover it up with a... well anything say a jacket or a towel or some heat isolation sheet?
@ your response to #8, that's not the point. The point of the tennis ball is for new drivers to learn the size and feel of the vehicle. So having a physical stopper defeats that purpose. You want them to be able to "sense" when to stop, not feel exactly when to stop.
Harzer Hamster A cracked windshield will never leave to glass in your eyes. For many, many decades, car windshield are made of "safety glass," which clings together in a solid sheet, even in the event it is completely smashed, like in the event of a car accident.
Die deutsche fahrer sind einfach die besten
It's better tip than the one in the vids
My dad taught me this. Blinded by headlamps coming at you? Don't look at them. Look instead at the kerb (or white lane line, yellow road side lines etc down to your left UK, right US etc) . This way the most sensitive part of your eye isn't being compromised by light, it's looking away (at the kerb). The bright light is now in the corner of your eye! You can track the road much easier. Of course, get your eyes back on the road as soon as the blinding light has gone.
Driving pro tip: Brakes starting to squeal? Use WD-40 to make those babies quiet as the day they were installed.
I've heard using WD40 on brakes makes you stop 40% quicker too, stuff is magic.
WD-40 removes Sharpie from ANY surface. Going to google uses/lifehacks bound to be better than this top 3 REAL LIFE HACKS, are in comments:
Kitty litter and sandbags in a truck or car increase traction during adverse conditions like snow or rain. Litter, non clumping, also is excellent for traction but can be used for oil spill clean ups & is also very messy.
Checking tire tread can be done with a penny, put Lincon in head first. If his nose is covered u are good.
Don’t like how the tread on your tires looks? Sand it off with sandpaper! Smoother ride, and less noise!
@@gravemind6536 oh yeah, I’ve been in a crapbox Camry and the person had used WD40, when they brakes, I felt like I was in an f1 car

1:36 NEVER turn the car wheel when the car isn't moving, it damages the steering mechanism!
No it does not, unless you own a yugo
Joe Veitch Go and ask your mechanic about that, this is basic car knowledge.
Priceless Boost you are right about that! no one should ever do that unless they absolutely have too!
how will you park a car then?
The only damage is caused to the tyres.. The Steering rack/box and all the linkages are stress tested and designed to be turned. Stationary or not won't make a difference
to all the car guys,this is so cringy.

To prevent scratches or kids scratching your car (trust me it happens because I did it when I was a little kid for some reason) just buy xpel wrap and wrap your car. It's just like a screen protector for your phone.
yeah its also costs a few thousand dollars. its only for high end cars.
Valkarez just because its expensive doesn't mean its for expensive cars, its for those who care about their car
xDrifz Really? Youre going to spend $5000 wrapping your miata? Just because you care about your car doesnt mean you have the money for that to be a good investment. Its only for expensive cars because only expensive cars have paint jobs more expensive than the wrap.
To prevent kids scratching your car, *DONT GET KIDS*
Or... You better wrap your kid... It'll be cheaper...
Why do people always beg for likes,like do you get money or something.

1:38 I wouldn’t recommend doing this unless you turn it away from the street or it is in a parking lot (it leaves drivers hesitant to drive past a car if they are seeing that your wheels are faced in the direction of their car and unsure if there is a person in the vehicle about to pull out).
Almost everyone in this comment section knows more about cars than the Guy who posted this. Doody out.

Boy imma buy gas and take it home so I can check if it's right! Great
They should have added the suggestion: If you aren't sure if the gas is good, pour some gas on the carpet, and use a match to see if it will burn....smh. :-)
1 tip for driving, when starting your drive, go full throttle and switch gears into R for a Rev boost!
Well, the car will most likely ignore the command though
Aye yo thanks for that sweet tip im now going to get high as a kite on some bay leaf

Never have I ever grabbed the steering wheel and thought that it was too hot, and if you have to parallel park in front of your house, then having your wheels turned to a side isn't really a good idea. And why would you waste your time and money finding nail polish when you can just go to a dealership, and get a small paint dispenser that matches your car exactly and is meant for scratches. Oh, and if you have to go out of your way to get acrylic sheets, then maybe you could put that effort towards finding something like, ooohhh, I dunno GLASSES???
but where do i put my glasses???
not to mention that in some countries its illegal to have ur wheels turned to a side while parallel parking...
Spicy Taco most of these tips are just plain useless lol
TheSonicrobbe on the sun visor duh
It actually is a good idea to keep your wheel at an angle when in a parallel park. Because if your breaks were to give out mid park and if your wheel was slanted, your car would go to the side and hit the curb, opposed to rolling forwards or backwards and hitting another car.
Oh I am so tired. Let me just pull my lemon out of the glovebox, then cut it up and put it under my tongue
Who keeps lemons in their car though ?
Some people just lick their lemon of a car and they're ready to go.
DonDonBabyx I keep them right next to the potato and the bay leaves.
Correct @psuedozardozz. Just keep the Manganese in a different nonflammable area.
Legitimately useful stuff. Oiling the rubber seals on the car may damage older (real) rubber, so it may be advised to use silicone lubricants instead, or replace the real rubber seals with alternatives, preferably made of nitrile, or if not that, neoprene. The potato trick might also work with shaving cream, as shaving cream prevents mirror fog in the humid conditions of the bathroom; condensation in a warm car on a winter day isn't any different.
If I use clear nail polish could it help prevent my small windscreen from getting bigger?
Just a heads up, NEVER do #14. You never want to turn your tires if your car isn't moving, unless you like replacing tires well before you would normally.
To add to #10, if you're ever driving and cannot keep your eyes open any longer, a great trick up north is to, as long as it's cold outside, just roll down all of your windows! It's impossible to fall asleep while you're shivering! My mom taught me this trick and as someone who used to drive deliveries for really long hours sometimes, this one simple trick can literally be a life-saver! Save driving out there, guys and gals! :)
This is advice given in the official UK highway code too.
I can see this trick work on an isolated highway where there aren’t any rest stops or pull offs for miles
'Put a drop of gas on paper'
now, roll up the paper, light it, smoke it. Brain cells fried. Job done.
Alas, someone with a Western education!
You cant put gas on paper!Petrol yes..Idiot americans calling petrol gas...
It's gasoline. Petroleum is not the same thing.
Computer Addic They're the same thing though. Gasoline and petrol are just two different words for the same fuel. It's like aluminum and aluminium.
Nice video; and good tricks from you ....
let me just pull out my manganese from my back pocket real quick
Pretty sure 13 is illegal. Your front windshield can't be tinted below a certain point, unless you live in a state with certain exemptions, like being an LEO or PI.
Chris Schmidt
It's not tint, it's a film that sticks to glass, it's removable.
Chris Schmidt Some newer cars have dark tint windshields straight from the factory. They wouldn't do that if it wasn't legal.
MrMJmusicLover I looked into it. It looks like a few states like Colorado allow light tint on the windshield, but most states only allow the top 5 or 6 inches.
www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/glass-window-tinting/&ved=0ahUKEwirj6zOo-7WAhWk6oMKHbHKB4QQFggxMAI&usg=AOvVaw18yNURVq-9QlbLPiwzSyyB
Chris Schmidt ok. I read it.
because they have special deals with the authorities. Just because new cars have it doesn't mean anything. With that logic, cheating on emissions would be legal, because every new car does it.
Useful info. Thanks!
For #2, shaving cream works WAY better than potatoes. Or just buy the Rain X interior glass anti fog spray or wipes.
It is doors not doorses
And they even had Doors' in the text instead of just Doors!
Sounded like something Smeagol would say 😂
I thought all Carses had Doorses? 😄
That would imply that it was possessive, meaning that the doors' are alive! Doors have 4 sides and 2 handles. 4x2=8. Eight has 5 letter, just like doors'. 5+5=10. Do u know what has 10 letters in it? That's right, illuminati. DEAR GOD!!! DO U REALISE WHAT THIS MEANS??? Illuminati is being run by sentient doors'!
Finally! A use for all those lemons that I keep in my car. I've always told my friends when they ask about it - "You never know when you're gonna need a lemon".
Check your fuel quality? Easy enough... just go grab some manganese from the manganese store down on the corner.
Brian McGovern haa haa haa.. 😂
Brian McGovern “good morn shop keeper an ounce of your finest manganese please”
its *NOT* manganese, its potassium-permanganate (KMnO4), a very oxydative agent, its aqueous solution (a purple colured liquid) is usually used for disinfection. you can buy it (at least here in hungary) in any pharmacy.
manganese is the name of the metal (Mn) and does nothing with water. you must have learnt this in primary school,
Márk Molnár you must have missed the lessons on sarcasm and jokes .
Great way to end up on a watchlist
Thank you, now I know that I never have to spend a single thought on that channel again.
These hacks are sure to come in handy for me when I'm driving
#11 my car came with a sunglass holder 😂😂
Tip 1, don't drive a Peugeot
Joke: a guy walks into an auto-parts store. He says to the clerk, 'Hey, I need a gas cap for my Peugeot. The clerk leans back, scratches his chin for a moment, then says, 'Yeah, sure. That sounds like a fair trade!'. :-)
Old Peugeot are pretty robust and reliable tho...
Unless you race it, in which case most of it will be stripped out or replaced anyways.
+Bane We have slightly similar joke involving heated rear windows on cars... they're for keeping you hands warm when you're pushing
agreed. total rubbish
SUPERB INFORMATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
In Germany there is no need to check the quality of gasoline, because the government does that for you.
to go on on your comment(it might help people), in eastern europe, southern france, and spain, only take gasoline or diesel from Shell or Esso pumps. Those are the only ones you can be 100% sure of good quality, all the rest is probably some left over, fraudulent gasoline/diesel.
bane, well, we do have these problems in europe, in southern france and spain for example, but indeed, in most countries, regulations are so strong, you can refuel safely everywhere, unless they switch petrol and gasoline by accident....
awesome! in romania we still have cars that work well with fried chips leftover oil..
This video is a joke, right?
Sunglasses on the visor? What a great idea (30-40 yrs ago).
Fail. 👎
I just put my sunglasses in the cup holder.
I've got clips on the visor designed to hold the sunglasses, what's wrong with it?
They said to stick a piece of acrylic to the windshield to block out the sun. *THAT’S WHAT SUN VISORS ARE FOR!!!*
Yeah most cars today have all kinds of little storage places. I had a Hyundai (I don't remember the model or year. It was a boxy 2003, 2004 or 2005 & had 4 doors.) that had a doored compartment above the rear view mirror, specifically for your sunglasses.
Aero756 yeah, but they also block your view. He's gotta point about the paper.
superb trips and tricks...thank you....
when life gives you lemons, put them in the glove compartment so that when you feel drowsy you can pull out a chopping board and a knife and cut a slice of lemon and eat it.
A better solution for hot steering wheels is to use a front window shade, or put a towel over the steering wheel. Unless you don't know how to drive, you'll have to use the whole steering wheel when backing out of a parking space and it's going to be hot somewhere on the wheel unless you shade it somehow!
Love the ones about checking the oil & gas. Thank you
Do they think we’re unintelligent, or is their key demographic newborns?.... seriously, I’ve seen several of their videos, and this is actually insulting to our intelligence.

Very nice tips
The sides of the steering wheel are still on the sides even if it is upside down...
HydeMyJekyll Exactly. However, if you park your car upside down only the bottom will heat up.
10 and 2 buddy. 10 and 2.
Yeah this video is aids. Placing hands on 9 and 3 is where the driver has the most control. So according to the pictures, this video is trolling people.
The only time one should turn their wheels while parked is when the car is parked on an incline or decline as to not have the car roll into traffic should something happen. The parking break should be applied anyway to hold the car in place but not everyone knows that or has common sense.
Chad Pugh 10 and 2 is for soccer moms lol
Ahh the old put you steering wheel upside down trick! Works perfectly when you want to turn the car.
You never told me you could drive, lady! Love from the Cyprus Fanclub xx
I know a new trick! Crash you car into a random person whilst making sure it looks like they crashed into you and that they don’t have a dash-cam. Make a claim, and fraudule- *cough* legitimate money will appear before you! This really works!!!!
