So I have to say. Only thing in this video that's something worth really remembering is the wheels not being turned while you're waiting to turn somewhere. Other than that, there's really nothing else I saw as to be a trick to making someone become a better driver.
Don't use oil on the dashboard, it's the dumbest idea ever heard. It only attracts loads of debris and dust on to the surface and leave it filthy as ever . Be aware of oil .
If you find your car lock frozen in the cold morning, fill a plastic bag with hot water and press it against the lock, don't pour the water over the lock as it'll freeze again. You can also go over the door seals with silicone, it prevents them from freezing. I live in Finland and it's a neverending battle with Mr Frost
To help with door locks and sticky doors go get some silicone spray and spray some of it inside the key lock. Work the lock with your key it will help keep the lock from freezing cause silicone spray resists water. Can also use it on your cars weather stripping and never have to worry about stuck frozen doors in the winter
Lining cup holders - use a paper towel folded to fit. It absorbs condensation, is easily & inexpensively replaced, & is sturdier than paper napkins or Kleenex.
If you're stuck on ice and can't move any way, use your rubber carpets, put them unter wheels, the rubber provides nice friction so you can easily drive out from the icy spot, just don't forget to go back and take them back inside your car :)
I knew about the key fob to the head i discovered that myself years ago lol. Also a good tip my bro told me decades ago is to turn on the heater to hot and turn on the blower to cool the engine water temperature down. Handy in a traffic jam if you think your gonna get an old hose thats gonna bust through high temperature,but using this technique you should have a good chance to stop this from happening. Just remember to wind down the windows though especially on a hot day haha.
Brilliant! Just asked my daughter if she has any nail polish! Another tip for winter is to smear some vaseline around the door rubbers, it stops them from freezing to the door frame. And whilst youve got it handy, put some in the locks.
I love our Walmart parking lots. They all have numbers which makes it so easy to locate your car. And we have tried the remote to the chin trick where there’s no numbers 🙂
2. is absolutely moronic! Doing this can cause cracks on the entire dashboard, especially when it gets hot! Olive oil belongs in the kitchen, not on your car!!! There are car care products designed to clean surfaces, protect them and give them a shinier look. Those are safe and won't cause any damage.
“#3.... if the door handle/lock’s frozen, try pouring warming water on it”. NEVER do this! Water can seep into the door & locking mechanism & re-freeze!! ... causing even more damage!
A professional once told me not to use any air freshener made of wax. The wax evaporates n circulates thus passing thru the tubes of the aircondotioner, later on blocking the tubes and other parts later.
In the summer, I park facing away from the afternoon sun so that dash doesn't get too hot ; keeps car much cooler. Also trees are very popular parking place in summer.
I knew the keyfob hack.. Forgot where I had parked my car in Chicago on Dec 27 2017, when the only thing stopping my balls from freezing was my frozzen jeans and underwear. Put it to my head and lo and behold, saw the lights blink a block away. Never have I ever ran towards my car faster. 😁
We have a company here that comes to your location (i.e. at work, shopping center, etc...) that removes and replaces windshields at less than $200 for most vehicles. Very convenient 😉
This one is a bit extreme, but you never know, it might come handy one day. When you get stuck In sand with your four wheel drive and there's nothing around like trees to hook your winch on to, dig a hole few feet away from your vehicle, put your spare wheel in the hole, attach the winch cable on the tyre and pull yourself out
If you get stuck in a mud or snow and you have a car with front wheel drive, try reversing the car out, with the engines weight in the front, you'll find it easier to get out
Tip 5 will not work for anyone living north where the sunrise during winter time is around 8-9 in the morning and you start work at 7. So good luck with that, what if you look out the window before you go out. If its cold and frosty around, bring a plastic bag with warm water with you. (Its not for the Goldfish) I tell you that! Use it on the window of your car to make it easier to scrap it.
you list me when you mentioned the cupcake cups adding a “nice touch if color” as if its anything but an eyesore if i was gonna do that id get black ones anyway

oil on the dashboard is bad idea..at first it will look all good and shiny but after the sunlight does its work.. prepare to buy a new dashboard because it would get all cracked up. You can use specific kind of spray for the dashboard for shine.
They forgot to mention during the hot weather... I like to put on my steering wheel a white towel, so it won't be so hot when I get back to my car. 🌞🌡🔥🚗
What if the oily wax spills once it has melted and makes a mess in your car? It would take hours trying to clean it up, and would probably also leave permanent stains.
I put a plastic shopping bad around the front passenger side door to use it as a thrash bag for the family car and it works great. Now I don't have to clean thrash from the floorboards all time because my brothers leave it there we just take out the bag when it gets full. If you have this problem you should try it works incredibly
@@VashStarwind Well you know it's kinda difficult when I have a busy schedule and have to try to clean the car one every 3 days because my brothers don't take their thrash it off my mom's car and I'm not trying to set in stone car with trash on the floor boards. I'm not"lazy a.f. I just found a better way to solve a problem. Work smarter not harder. Besides why would you be watching a video about life hacks if you weren't trying to find a better way to do something.
Also when your car windows get steamed up inside, just turn the ac on, but you have to have the heater on as well, only takes a few seconds to clear the windows
