SUMMARY
- After you find the perfect match, put some on the scratch. After the nail polish dries, just buff the scratch a little to make it smooth.
- To combat such cracks, use clear nail polish. Put 2 or 3 layers on the crack, and it will stop the crack from growing.
- The steering wheel is already too hot to touch! To avoid this, turn the steering wheel by 180 degrees when leaving the car. The part you use to drive will stay in the shadow.
- In order not to get blinded by the sun, take an acrylic sheet and put it on the windshield. Acrylic is easily attached to the windshield thanks to static electricity, and it protects your eyes from ultraviolet rays very well.
- If you've got a long road ahead of you and you are worried that you might get car sick, there is a fantastic solution! You may be surprised, but you just need to put a bay leaf under your tongue.
- Are you one of those people who doesn't know where to put their sunglasses in the car? There is just the place: put them on the sun visor. This way you'll make sure your glasses won't fall on a bumpy road.
- If you are feeling a bit drowsy when driving, put a piece of lemon under your tongue. This will wake you up very quickly. But still, we don't recommend you to drive when you are tired.
- This advice will come in handy to those who find that their cupholder isn't reliable enough. Put a little silicone cupcake case on the bottom of the cupholder. This way, your coffee cup will be secured inside, and all the little pieces of trash will be in the case.
- A tennis ball hanging in the garage can be a point which shows that a wall is near. The ball will help you to feel the car's size more easily, so you won't drive further than necessary.
- Heat the engine for 5-10 minutes, and cut the ignition off. Open the hood, and put a couple of oil drops onto a sheet of paper. Carefully take the sheet in a warm place and wait for 2 hours for the oil to dry.
- Put a drop of gas on a white sheet of paper, blow on it, and wait for the drop to evaporate. If the paper is perfectly white after the experiment, it means that you are using good-quality gas. If there is a greasy spot, it means there is some kerosene in the gas.
- Open a door and one of the front windows. Then open and close the door on the opposite side of the car. Do it a couple of times - this trick helps to cool down the car quickly, and it also gets rid of unpleasant smells easily.
- All you need is a pair of latex gloves. Put them on and rub your gloved hands against the carpet. It will create static electricity which in turn will help pet hair to resurface.
- When the windows in the car start fogging from the inside, you need to cut a potato in two parts. Then rub the potato on the windows from the inside and let them dry.
- Use a shower organizer to keep everything you need on the way, from diapers to bottles with water and some games. Just fix it to the seat in front of you and enjoy your organized ride!

[@dennistoribio1813]

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.

[@mikefiell8103]

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.

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.

Instead of using an Acrylic sheet, how about pulling down this thing at the top of the windscreen called a "sun visor"?

[@Spicy_Taco69]

well duuuhhhh but if i do that where do i put my glasses??????

[@pugpete1]

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).

[@supercarsofwichita9485]

North Yorkshire Dash Cams better yet, pull it down and then take the sunglasses off of it from the other hack and use both

[@GauravKumar-hj4qd]

Spicy Taco 😂😂😂😂😂 that's a legit point

[@jedonyoutube5018]

For that spot between the sun visors I use a thick page like construction paper rolled over and wedged between the mirror and windshield.

[@kevinnorris6558]

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.

[@kellymc239]

+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! :-)

[@Tethmes]

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.

[@valentinstrugariu1337]

R stands for ‘rocket’ mode

[@valentinstrugariu1337]

No! No! For reverse, I open the door and use one leg to push car backwards! Where have you passed you driving test?

I think he meant S (Sport Mode) as R is for reverse haha

[@baconfromhell666]

Another hack to get rid of the bright sun, put some freaking sun glasses on!!

[@melvinspencer7703]

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...

[@kittyhawk9707]

on my car I have a thing called a Sunvisor... useful when driving in Sunny conditions

[@technocar2]

Just pull the "SUN VISOR" down!..simples

[@OriginalRazar]

Can't. they are clipped to the sun-visor.

[@VoloKinProject]

Or just move to England.

[@davidsmith6661]

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.

[@BazColne]

Absolutely invaluable. Also, I keep a pea under my seat to let me know how regal I’m not.

[@22timingram]

I live in the UK... we deliberately leave the steering wheel the right way up to warm our hands when we get back in.

[@daggern15]

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

[@andrewince8824]

What's sun? This is England. It's wet. It's dark. Everything is cloudy.

Keep kitty litter in your car so when you get stuck in the snow, your cat can still go to the bathroom.

[@toothpicdinosaur3777]

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.

#14 "turn your wheel 180 degrees" and leave your front wheels sticking out like a ****

[@karlrovey]

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]

It's also a trick not to get towed..turn the wheel and park..they won't be able to tow you

[@princevegeta7609]

[@Tribulation88]

@@matufujiwara7493 You could just not park where you may get towed... that is 100% effective.

[@lokisgodhi]

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!

[@NW_Pilot]

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.

[@JohnJohnson-ps1tz]

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.

[@daggern15]

This doesn't always apply as some manufacturers sometimes use non common colours or some people put a custom paint job on their cars

[@danielrose1392]

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

[@Claymore877]

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

[@vivaanbarnwal9639]

Well, the car will most likely ignore the command though

Why do people always beg for likes,like do you get money or something. Edit: well thanks for the likes guys

I like all your Bright Side videos. lots of good info. Thank You.

[@tacit-knowledge-1455]

Ahh the old put you steering wheel upside down trick! Works perfectly when you want to turn the car.

[@idc6364]

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.

[@valkarez1137]

yeah its also costs a few thousand dollars. its only for high end cars.

[@7privet_294]

Valkarez just because its expensive doesn't mean its for expensive cars, its for those who care about their car

[@valkarez1137]

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.

[@commanderkizza978]

To prevent kids scratching your car, *DONT GET KIDS*

[@ketorolac4276]

Or... You better wrap your kid... It'll be cheaper...

[@harzerhamster6735]

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!

[@jeremysun7365]

#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?

[@R3_Live]

@ 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.

[@TravisTerrell]

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.

love tips from number 7. Thanks

[@DownYourWayUK]

Really enjoyed the journey, thank you

[@bluephreakr]

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.

[@ferbzloose]

If I use clear nail polish could it help prevent my small windscreen from getting bigger?

For #2, shaving cream works WAY better than potatoes. Or just buy the Rain X interior glass anti fog spray or wipes.

[@AqGaming007]

Boy imma buy gas and take it home so I can check if it's right! Great

[@kellymc239]

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. :-)

[@froggodoggo79]

You've heard of Elf on a Shelf, now get ready for gas on a glass

[@EddieFox]

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.

[@donnier7908]

I gave up on the hot steering wheel one

[@hanishverma4821]

Ty 4 information Very useful

[@thedoo777]

great tips I have keep on forgetting the tennis ball one

[@bludclone]

let me just pull out my manganese from my back pocket real quick

[@skii2268]

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???

[@TheSonicrobbe]

but where do i put my glasses???

[@Spicy_Taco69]

not to mention that in some countries its illegal to have ur wheels turned to a side while parallel parking...

[@Chris-fe1kx]

Spicy Taco most of these tips are just plain useless lol

[@supercarsofwichita9485]

TheSonicrobbe on the sun visor duh

[@brocklewis6462]

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.

[@l0k0lightning51]

These hacks are sure to come in handy for me when I'm driving

[@crazylegs8774]

14. use a simple reflective sunshade card.13. you have a little cover right above the steering wheel, the sunviser there is. 2. use the AC

[@FinnyThings]

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.

[@nsggolf3211]

[@raashidts700]

Thanks guys Very nice tips

[@RickHawkDavison]

[@kencohagen4967]

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!

I have performed the oil and gas checks, in addition to brake fluid and engine coolant. My mom used to do the shower organizer one when I was younger.

[@Kaktus5001]

In Germany there is no need to check the quality of gasoline, because the government does that for you.

[@jarnedeprins3617]

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.

[@jarnedeprins3617]

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....

[@HANNIBAL30ro]

awesome! in romania we still have cars that work well with fried chips leftover oil..

[@Dannyb340]

To stop windows misting up just turn the de mist on... The hint is in the name... Or just open the windows. You can also just put a sock with cat litter in, an it will absorb the moisture. The advantage of all of these over a potato is that they all leave no smears over the windscreen.

[@richard3365]

I'm not sure where you're from, but where I am they call it "defrost", not "demist". Also, from my personal experience, until the engine is sufficiently warm (such as you've already been driving for about 10-15 minutes without it, normally idling for a minute or two isn't enough), it will only cause the windows to fog up worse when you turn it on. But yes... open the windows (even if it is cold) while you wait for the engine to warm up, and you'll be fine.

[@kellymc239]

Neat little invention in cars of Today: a magic little thing called the Defroster/Demister control. It's a super-duper, terrific invention that ANYONE who has a car has access to. It's so coooool that a person can just move the switch or lever, or control and abra-cadabra.....no more fog or moisture on the window! WOW.....like magic! And the nicest part is that it's already installed on the car! OMG! Please write a letter to your congressman and automaker and let them know about the wonderful demister/defroster invention that is changing the World as we know it! Hey, somebody call Tony Stark and ask if he's the one that invented it. Whoah! What a concept! My mind is so officially blown at this invention.!!!! :-O (smh)

I feel like the potatoes one was fake

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

have a travel metal cup to help holding the coffee cup when it’s hot and it raise the cup from the original cup holder so it’s easier to reach when sitting behind the wheel. It will work just as well as the silicone cupcake thingy they talked about earlier.

[@Tumandok]

Great! Thanks.

[@hulkhogan4203]

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.

[@hambone8820]

Chris Schmidt It's not tint, it's a film that sticks to glass, it's removable.

[@MrMJmusicLover]

Chris Schmidt Some newer cars have dark tint windshields straight from the factory. They wouldn't do that if it wasn't legal.

[@hulkhogan4203]

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

[@MrMJmusicLover]

Chris Schmidt ok. I read it.

[@emin86]

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.

[@HydeMyJekyll]

The sides of the steering wheel are still on the sides even if it is upside down...

[@OrangeSunshine2]

HydeMyJekyll Exactly. However, if you park your car upside down only the bottom will heat up.

[@chadpugh1490]

10 and 2 buddy. 10 and 2.

[@peterscalise3101]

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.

[@peterscalise3101]

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.
