So, guys... What would you put in a zombie survival kit? 😉
I put a Pistol, some dry fruits and meds for zombie survival 😅
Guns, canned food, and meds...
Also, never soo early on a bright side video
I’ll put a bright light to blind the zombie, and then kick em, and a maid kit, I sticked to the bright side,
How does this relate to cars????
My turn signal makes a sound because I actually use it, too bad most people don’t hear that sound
Optional extra on black BMW's.
@@fivish always blaming bmw drivers it’s annoying it’s just some people who drive it and not all of them are bad drivers
---It’s gotten worse too. I swear it’s breathing in our own CO2, it’s driving people crazy.😼
@@judywright4241 ?
@@maddaxsaya.3477 "not all of them are bad drivers"------true. But highest percentage is unarguable.
Honestly I like the blinker noise helps me not to forget to turn it off.
Very true fact: The average BMW spends most of its life without a turn signal ever turned on
True😄
How make 213 dollars per year .

Thats garbage. Where is your proof??????
@@twelvesteps1085 watch a video about the bmw driver
Mercedes makes automotive, aircraft and marine engines which is the reason for the land, sea, air dominance.
Aaron Kelley came to say this
I'm glad someone mentioned it.
Yea, and when they get older they are endless money pits !!!
I was thinking the same thing when I heard this
Who asked we all know
The bi-metal spring in a directional signal flasher unit heats up when current flows through it causing it to bend (click) and break the electrical connection. Once the current stops, it then cools down and bends back into it's original shape (clack) allowing current to flow, repeating the cycle. Most newer vehicles these days (the past few decades) have solid-state signal flasher units, or the directionals are computer controlled so the click-clack sound that you hear in most modern vehicles, is made artificially.
Respect for Volvo after knowing about the seatbelt patent 📈📈📈
“Cars are equipped with a steering wheel”
Thanks bro, I’m ready to take my driving test now
This video is perfect to play while looking for other videos, the audio is enough lol.
BMW logo has nothing to do with propeller. White and blue checkers came from Bavarian flag colors and represent the company's origin.
Exactly what i was thinking
Klopt dat schreef ik ook .
Yes, you are right.. It's a color of Flag
This channel is a joke lol
Or the b for blue the m for middle and w for white
Bright side has been very interesting and the one with knowledge I hope you keep making informational videos thanks for the affords 🙂
The one with knowledge. Right.
@@the_kombinator I don't even remember commenting 😂this
And you still did not correct affords to read efforts
Thanks for the help realy appreciated
I learned something brilliant about 1924 first car radio. Thanks for video 🙂
People where I live don't know how to use the turn signals so they wouldn't know what it sounds like lol
They're the same people who use the horn whenever they're feeling self-righteous.
sounds like many of the cops in California...
alot of turn signals are made by NOSEEUM
@@luci-fer250 ...is their first name "ad" (sorry too subtle 🤔 )
Is it TYRKEY??? :D
About the speeder in Switzerland, the speed limit sign in most countries, Europe, Japan, South Korea, the ones I've driven in, are measured in KM, 50 (shown) translate's to about 35 mph.
Cool zombie kit I never knew that AMAZING
Awesome. thanks! 👍🏼
3:20 Only one of those cars is Rolls-Royce. The second one is an Horch (part of Auto Union), the third is an MG.
1960 Buick LeSabre, he was showing a 1970 model. As far as the clicking noise, it's a relay circuit opening and closing.
They looked a lot like the Impala models. Very definitely wasn't a 1960.
The part about the turn signal is definitely true. I'm borrowing my mom's 1993 car while my 2020 car is in the shop for repairs, and the 1993 car's turn signal noise is REALLY quiet compared to mine. I'm always double-checking to make sure I have the signal turned on.
Very Interesting! However, you got the turn signal principle exactly backwards - the spring is a straight leaf, normally making contact - when you turn on the signal, current flows, heating the spring and it bends over, braking the contact. Then it cools off, it straightens, and makes contact, starting over.
I love pigger nussy ❣️
Mercedes makes engines: marine and airplane, not to mention truck and car engines. Maybe that’s what the three pointed star (land, sea and air) refers to?
grozbeek mose - Maybe now they do! :)
Statistics show that most people don't know how to drive a car , my research is based on daily driving. So I'm going to wrap my car in bubble wrap.
Psychological research shows that 80%of the worst divers believe they drive significantly better than average.
when I saw your comment it made me laugh lol XD

Why have you got 2 bald men kissing under a bib on your thumbnail 🤔
2:32 1960 : Able to buy a brand new car with $3000.
Now : Only able to buy a steering wheel , transmission and 2 doors with $3000.
7:30 Worlds Cheapest car Tata Nano costs around $2000.
Me: Wait, so its still possible to get a car with $3000 🤔
With a top speed of 65mph it won't be a very good commuter car
To Gaming.. Exactly my point...
To Joey... TATA has shout down Neno's production but.. You can get used one if you want.. trust me.. It's very fun to drive and capable enough to take 4 passengers.... It also has Air conditioner and Auto transmission
Brand new cars are starting at.. 15000 ish? If you go for the smallest ones. Usually average 30000 though.
USED cars you can get for less than 3000, if they're from 2008 or before, best at 2003 and earlier, because otherwise they're probably faulty.
That’s about $26,000 in today’s dollars.
🤣🤣🤣
Im amazed with the facts I've never known before. Automotive Technology student here🙂
🙂🙂👍👍
You won't of heard of most of them before, because they made them up!
My favorite tune is "I can't catch him! Do I do it? Mizo Otshi!?
This is making me learn a lot
6:40 Mercedes, produces not just cars or trucks for land, they manufacture engines for ships to sail in sea and for jets in the airs as well.
So are a bunch of other car manufactures motor/electronics used in other areas
Daimler Benz (Mercedes) does not make jet engines.
@@Rob-fc9wg thank you for correction. Now they don't make. And specifically jet engines.
But in the past Mercedes or Daimler Benz had produced aircraft engines.
Daimler Benz does produce aircraft engines, but not a jet engine.
I feel like they just Googled “Cool car facts” got the list and then made up their own explanations
Exactly there was nothing useful in this
Definetly😐😧
Even thought it is useless for u (not me) u could prove others wrong with these facts
Hey brilliant idea fir a vid! THANX
Exactly!
Interesting, the vehicle I drive has a sound module that creates the seat belt beep, the signal light click as well as several other audio sounds for low fuel and engine trouble issues. Funny when the seatbelt warning tone is playing and I hit the turn signal switch I can hear the click but sometimes either one the sounds will cancel out as the timing of one interferes with the other.
Wow! thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Not necessarily my favorite, but most fitting song, Gerry Lee "Rodeo Song" at least it's chorus section.
"Come on, we can think of a way to use this."
After their first prototype shot off a cliff from brake failure into the ocean.
The air part was when airplane and car engineers where one in the se since, at the time surrounding WW2, ideas was interchangeable between cars and planes of the time
The entire score to the Phantom of the opera is my most favourite companion on long drives. Of course I sing all the mail leading roles, better than they do of course, and I’m not kidding, here in Toronto, being stuck in traffic that doesn’t move is very common, in the summer I have the windows rolled down when I’m singing away, not really noticing all the cars around me. Upon finishing songs I’ve gotten applause, and people yelling out their windows I should be a professional singer, which was always my dream come true but never happened. Because I get horrible stage fright, I never pursued it, but between the car in the shower, I’m a rockstar! LOL!
When I drive I sing "I can't drive 55". It's the BEST driving song evah!
It's a long way to the top...AC/DC
90% of harley davidsons made are still on the road,,, the other 10% made it home...
Just like land rovers
Hahaha, that's why I want a Goldwing
And one of those 90% belongs to you.
😭 poor harley's can we start a charity to go and collect them please l will have nightmares now ... 🚲 ... they need a nice warm garage and love and restoration
@@allan9603 several do,, lol
Awesome👏✊👍👍😎 video🎥. Keep it up.
4:50. They should have also mentioned that you should not be closer than 12 inches to the steering wheel when you drive because you will be hit by the air bag as it deploys at 200MPH and that causes a lot of neck and head trauma. The idea is that the forward momentum will make you hit the airbag after is has deployed. If the airbag hits you as it deploys it is going to hurt you. And you should never drive with your hand(s) at 12 O'clock because your wrist is in the inflation zone and your wrist will get hit by the airbag moving at 200MPH and it will break. And people who ride in the passenger seat with their feet on the dash board end up with broken ankles and dislocated hips. As a nurse I have seen all of these types of injuries.
1:12 You have cars with "Oversize Car Ahead/Follows" signs for an oversized 18-wheeler, wouldn't an "Undersized Car Ahead/Follows" signs for that?
BMWs Logo is also the Bavarian flag
I love watching videos related to cars stuff, even'do i don't have a car. Am fine with that.
Awesome video
I love your use of kitties for weight comparisons because I love cats!!
Believe me, the BMW e60 m5 with that v10, sounds amazing. And it’s not quite att all🤪
I love bright side they give soo much good information
4:45 thank you volvo
Yes
Thanks for putting safety before profits, Volvo.
@NSDflug..what do you mean? Opening up that patent for other car companies to use saved millions of lives.
And probably the first with driving with dim light on during the day...?? Just wondering
Midnight Rider’s not a limo, it’s just a really fancy trailer pulled by a semi-truck!
Nice video
Favorite song I sing in the car, "Crawling From The Wreckage".
Your BMW note about the spinning propeller is incorrect. It’s derived from the Bavaria flag where BMW is from.
...shameful error obviously don't watch youtube 🤔 ...
This is really crazy
Just what I needed to learn about
Bright side keeps on making my day
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
My two favorite tunes when I drive are the 50s' hit "Beep beep"and Beatles song of "Baby you can drive my car"! On the Mercedes emblem: Why don't they call it the Marine Corps car? You know, Air, Land and Sea!
3:38, says it was a 50 mph zone. Shows a 50 km/h sign. 50 km/h is about 31 mph.
thank you
I'm singing like a bathing cat while driving
Since 1965 high end cars "Corvette" has a "Black Box" that records data about the car 30 seconds before and impact. Only the manufacture has access to it

@@Konstant1ne. early adopters have to deal with the bugs and problems new technology has
"Clicking" sound when you turn on a turning signal is from a relay switch, not from some spring..
Thankfully my vehicle does not have a clicking sound anymore... just a more annoying digital tone.
@@TheSilentwatch Used to be a relay, but not for the last few decades. Gawd knows where they got the spring theory from!
A turn signal flasher is a special kind of relay that does utilize heat generated by electrical flow, but the heat is caused by the flow of electricity through the contacts causing a piece of spring steel to disconnect the circuit. The metal quickly cools and snaps back into place completing the circuit once again. There is no heat generated when the circuit is incomplete.
The noise indicators makes is deliberate to remind drivers that the indicators are in operation. I clicks faster when a bulb is not working to alert the driver of that fact.
One of my favorite songs to sing while driving is I can't drive 55
The turn signal makes noise so you don't leave them on .
My favorite song to sing is that wonderful song by Borat, it's called 'THROW THE JEW DOWN THE WELL.

Hello mr.Bright side l Always watch your video
Car guys. What was he on about when mentioning the M5? Is he kidding?😂😂 I think he means the I8
Brightside haven't got a clue about anything
So much bs.
You guys ... but funny ... *come on Brightside you can do better just check your facts before broadcasting*
90 % of people sing a specific song at a red light. 10 % picks their nose
thanksfor showing 1969 Buick as 1960.Baba O riley is song of choice.
Everything was great,however the BMW M5 doesn't have a quiet engine.It's extremely loud infact....however it is not loud enough to us purists who like the older E60s as portrayed in the video which has the holy grail V10
I was looking for this comment. Surprised it wasn’t higher up. They obviously don’t know what an m5 is.
"Its amazing we can even find our car"
It's called the Panic button
Amazing
BMW doesn't play the fake engine noise into the cabin to "remind" the driver that the engine is working. They do that because the sound deadening which is used to muffle road, tire and wind noise also deadens the engine noise and people who drive high performance car like to hear the sound of the engine, especially if they have a V8, or larger engine.
Legends dont know how to drive it 😏
As someone who has worked in the automotive industry I can assure you that the "new car" smell is a non toxic odor sprayed intentionally by dealerships. It has nothing to do with the manufacturing process...
Me:has no car
Me:also watches this video lol
Hmm favorite song to sing...Korn "Coming Undone" or Distributed " Down With the Sickness"
i listen to anything with high bass
Sorry, everyone. You're going to have to watch the WHOLE video again with subtitles turned on. There are three extra facts included that didn't make it to the voice-over - they squeezed them in between other comments
I love to hear Donna Summers' Good old tunes with medium volume while driving in the National/Asian Highways.
Graham (AKA nab) surely we know the noise when indicating is a warning to know it's on and to turn it off when you've turned etc, not all cars etc cancel them out.
My first car was a 1998 Ford Contour it had a tape cassette player with am/fm radio. My next 3 cars had CD players. Right now I drive a 2015 Ford Escape. It has a lot modern technology in it. My favorite thing is BT and another is a keypad on the driver’s door. The car before was a 2011 Mercury Milan and it had almost the same as the Escape. The Milan had back up censors and the Escape had a backup camera. My mother thinks that I don’t know the difference my using the BT which I knew before the Escape. She used to drive a 2013 Ford Edge.
4:16 the yellow Volkswagen bettle is bumble bee
I'm sorry but I am a bugnut and it is spelled Beetle and Bumble Bee was a Camaro
My favorite song to sing while driving.. anything Linkin Park.
RIP Chester Bennington....
i love these videos
I always thought the turn signal click was produced by a little switch being switched on and off kind of like the clicking sound on a light switch in your house
and I thought car was derived form horseless carriage
Bright side teaches me more than my school 🏫 🤫
3:16 I'm more of a silent driver. First thing I do when I get into my car is turn off the radio, it's more relaxing to me that way, but occasionally I do play some Alan Walker 😁
Hahaha same here bro
I remain silent while driving!!
75% of all roles are still on the the road these days. Well buddy that's because only 25% made it back home
Don't even get started on land rovers
Current favorite song to sing behind the wheel is flaunt by mick Jenkins lol 😂
Wow that great
The BMW logo represents the old Bavarian flag-nothing to do with airplanes.
Wrong. But, you can keep believing whatever misinformation you'd like.
I want everything weighed in comparison to cats! 😺
i wonder how heavy I am in cat numbers

My first car was a Mercedes 240D. I drove it everywhere (land) I jumped it a few times (air) and it would float for a little bit (sea)
What about the fact that the car can fly?
