In my experience jumping cars, it's alright to connect the black cable to the negative part of the battery. Especially with some newer cars, there's a lot of plastic covering the engine and other metal parts of the car, making it difficult to find some metal to ground it on. Another thing to note is to NEVER TOUCH THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SIDES TOGETHER WHEN IT'S CONNECTED TO THE DONOR BATTERY. Doing this can cause sparks to fly and anything flammable in the engine bay can catch on fire.
10 and 2 is NOT where your hands should go on the steering wheel. That was true many years ago, before air bags. Slightly lower than 3 and 9 is the correct answer. My biggest pet peeve is people who don't know what they are talking about giving out bad info in an authoritative way. If you don't know, don't teach other people! Videos like this are part of the problem.
Don't need to be too technical with it. 10 & 2, 3 & 9, 8:45 & 3:15, they're the same general area of the wheel. While I do agree with any of those hand placements, I often find myself driving one hand at 6, lol.
That is actually not true either. A really skilled instructor in my country (Norway) told WHEN to use 10 and 2, and WHEN to use 3 and 9. When you are driving fast or in a "high risk" place, such as smaller roads with higher speeds, you will have better control with 10 and 2, and not only that, holding under 3 and 9 would be a greater risk to break your arms during a collision. BUT, driving at a highway, not alot of turns etc, it would be more practical to hold little under 3 and 9. But if you get a front to front accident 3 and 9 will most likely do more harm to your arms than 10 and 2 ;) This is not only taught by the instructors, but by the government traffic safety department, and I will mention that Norway is number 1 when it comes to safety in traffic :)
@@Gtapolice123 i would say i don't agree with any of the x and y on the wheel. Now i know i haven't been driving for a very long time(3 years) but i think that im not doing anything "wrong" or "unsafe" and any other word you might use to describe my driving. So anyway I drive with 1 hand and i hold my wheel at 9 or 3 depends if im smoking at the time or not. I also use 1 hand to turn the wheel and have never been in a situation where i would need to put both hands on the wheel. I have also never been in a car crash thou i was almost hit a few times but managed to react in time and evade the crash. I can think of only 1 situation where i would put both hands on the wheel and that would be if my car started to skid when the road is icy, wet or covered in snow but that would happen if im driving too fast for the weather which i wouldn't do.
@@doncho611 Im just telling what my driving teacher told me, im more like a hand on 6 and hand on the gearbox so haha😂 But it is most about being comfortable driving if you ask me :) What works good for me, can work not so good for other :)
Some of these we do different here: - 2:30 don't use all 4 blinkers when moving out a parking spot, but only the side you are turning towards. - 3:10 that manoeuvre for the red but especially the green car is very dangerous! switch lanes outwards on a roundabout earlier when possible! and use your turn signals when leaving or changing lanes! - 5:00 we don't rotate wheels, but they are replaced in pairs when worn. (all tires need to be changed once a year for seasons though: winter vs summer tires) - 6:25 when jumpstarting another car, there is no need to disconnect the power cable from the patient car just go + to + and - to - . Make sure the donor car is running when doing so. wait a (couple of) minutu(s) before trying to start the patient car
Rotating the wheels on cars fitted with radial tyres should always be done front to back, back to front, they should always maintain their individual direction of rotation. Even more important if the tread pattern is directional. Diagonal rotation can only be done with cross ply tyres.
2:29 I've never seen a DMV (or secretary of the state) handbook state, if you are driving in the opposite direction that you can parallel park on the "wrong" side of the road, facing the wrong direction in traffic.
Video you shared has lot of things which one should do while driving a vehicle. You are also true that jams are due to people and not vehicles in particular. I think people in India should view this video and learn but, eventually there won't be many who will follow rules.
Regarding rotating tires. If you do as in the movie make sure that your tires don't have a specific rotation. Then you will decrease your traction espcially in wet weather.
for rear drive skidding Turn the wheel the other way of the skid direction and bash the throttle, if you are losing the skid push the clutch bash the throttle and quickly release the clutch
Soma Electricals at 3:40 the point is if you get in trouble don't just break there because it won't end up good, gas and turn to the nearest open field asap. By asap I mean within next 1,5 sec usually, also depending on how far is the nearest car behind you if that makes any sense.
3.55 If I'm not wrong then what you should do is apply throttle a little bit so there would be some weight on the rear tires to keep the traction, not release the gas all the way.
On the last point: don't pass from the right. In some countries, that's illegal, for good reason. If you are stuck with a slow driver in the left lane, wait it out. Sometimes, that person is waiting for an opportunity to make their way safely back to the right lane. That opportunity fails to come if people keep on passing from the right, stretching a dangerous situation in time. If the slow driver is in the center lane, use the left lane instead of the right lane to pass. The video puts the fault on the slow driver, but we have all been slow drivers in the left lane, as there is always someone on the highway who drives faster than you do, and always someone who drives slower. The "slow" driver in the left lane may be someone who is going at or a little above the speed limit and is there to pass a truck. Give them the chance to finish their maneuver properly (not cut in front of the vehicle they just passed).
You shouldn’t hold 2:50 but rather 3:45 when in a car with airbag in the steering wheel cause at 2:50 you can injury your hands/arms as the airbag deploys.
I have told people so many times to not brake if they are about to crash or skid or need to swerve to avoid a crash. If they need to swerve they will skid if they even tap the brake. Its better to floor it. Or let go of the gas
Newer cars do not need to idle for 10-15 minutes since they don't have carburetors like older cars. I agree that slowly driving after 1 minute is great, but personally, I would wait at least 3 minutes to get all the fluids running (oil, trans, diff) through the components before I slowly drive away. On the other hand, letting your car running 10 minutes before you drive away in below 0 degree temperature seems fine to me, as you can wait for the heater to do its job and the interior's warm once you get in. Hence why car manufacturers make remote start switches.

I could only watch until I saw the wheel change rotation. The possibility depends on if the tire rotation direction is set by the manufacturer or not. The traffic light behaviour is taught in driving school (jammed crossing: do not enter even with green light). Parking in revers means longer parking time in exchange of lesser leaving time etc. When skidding, nearly nobody will remember these tricks and if, there is no guarantee it will work.
Lots of wrongs in this video. Hand position should be 9-3 due to airbag. Skidding is safest solved by using clutch to get maximum friction, not throttle. Tires should absolutely not be shifted diagonally if they are made for a certain direction designed for leading away water to both sides of the tire. Having such tires in wrong direction is very unsafe and causes aquaplaning.
You should still earm up the engine in cold weather because the oil is 2 times thicker and needs more time to get to the filter and then the engine and the transmisson both need to get to a specific operating temperature and this goes for all wheather the heat and the cold. But dont listen to any of this if it is a emergency
