    Here's another car secret that few people seem to know.
    That little lever on the left side of the steering wheel is a turn signal.
    You're welcome! ;)

      Another car-related secret: Some of the signs at the roadside have got magical numbers on them. Keep your speed below that number, and you will get pulled over less frequently and don’t pay for speeding tickets anymore!

    1:20 love the content as always man but wanted to point out. It's not RFID. Many push button starts use rfid and some use nfc. But rfid is only extremely close range. Many cars key fobs use RF which use something called rolling codes. Which are codes sent accross a frequency that roll over making it harder for someone to intercept the frequency and gain access to your car. Same way garage door openers work. I've heard some cars use BLE packets for push button start but that is not something I can confirm. Anyways love the content as always and thank you!

    The head rests are adjustable, they also come out and are used to break the door glass in an emergency.
    There is a tiny triangle next to the fuel gauge, it points to the side of the car where the gas cap is.
    Your seat belt goes up and down at the top anchor point, if it is rubbing against your neck, try moving it up.
    The reason your blinker is blinking really fast is because there is a turn signal light bulb out.

    In Europe, the lane on the right is used for driving, and the one on the left for overtaking only. Generally, you drive in the right lane and use the left one to overtake and get back to the right lane as soon as you complete overtaking. That way, the driving is much more efficient. If the road has only two lanes in one direction, at the uphill part there are 3 lanes; right for heavy vehicles, middle for passenger cars and the left for overtaking.
    Of course, there are a-holes here as well who simply go to the left lane and never go back to right unless they are forced to, but that is here more of an exception than a rule. But when I see the roads in the USA where people drive in whatever lane, that makes me nervous.

      @bsherder Před 3 měsíci +4

      In NJ they have signs all over the garden state parkway that say "Slower traffic keep right" Unfortunately a lot of people just sit in the left lane. Then they get all mad and irritated when someone passes them on the right. You would think they would get a clue and realize to move to the right lane when half a dozen cars pass them but nope. The driver just tells himself that those people are nuts.

    One thing you missed - velocity, or speed, doesn't work like we intuitively think. Example; at 15 mph, it would take 4 hours to travel 60 miles. At 30 mph, 2 hours. At 60 mph, 1 hour. At 120 mph, 1/2 hour. Notice, in the first example, when speed was doubled from 15 to 30, it saved 2 hours. In the last example, the speed doubled by 60 mph, yet it saved only 1/2 hour.
    Bottom line is, when you're on your daily commute, going 75 instead of the posted 65, won't save very much time for the 10 or 15 miles you travel on the highway. You can figure it out mathematically, but the increase in fuel consumption, increase in tire wear and stress on your drive train just isn't worth the few minutes you save. Stay safe out there.

    The first one about holding the fob to the head: The head has nothing to do with it. Actually, the fats in the brain absorb radio waves more than anything else. What does help is raising the fob high up so the radio waves have a clearer sight than using it from the height of your hip. In other words: just holding it high up makes the trick work.

    • @BrandyBalloon
      @BrandyBalloon Před 3 měsíci +12

      Yes height will help. It can also be the angle at which you're holding it. Most people "point" it at the car and the transmitted signal can be quite weak in that direction as opposed to holding it so that the flat side is facing the car.

      I've tested this. Hold the FOB up and then touch it to my forehead. The forehead always seems to provide a stronger signal.

I still do it, but I am not sure if it works like it used to or not being that everything is using higher frequencies than they used to so I don't know if the using your head as an antennae works still.

    The truth is, the higher you hold your key fob in the air, the farther the radio wave coverage of its signal. It has nothing to do with water in your brain. Water actually absorbs radio waves. Water is a conductor of electricity but blocks radio waves. The classes in physics and electronics I took in high school come in handy sometimes.

      The issue is that it is impossibly hard to pull off in a factory.
      - The dimpling is dead simple to put into the sheet metal. The problem is painting. Almost all cars are filled and smoothed a bit and then primered. Then paint is added and the result is that any small variations like that look messy and dry at different rates resulting in a very bad look. You would have to make the car panels out of carbon fiber for it to really be reasonable to pull off, as it just needs some sanding and a clear coat.

There are some cases where the bulb has a lose contact due to vibrations. Before you decide to buy, give it a slap. In some cases it will light up, in some it doesn't. If it doesn't work try resitting them. This will save you some money.

Manually downshifting during winter road conditions when approaching intersections or offramps, etc., or even when needing to pass. There are usually a lever or switch on either side of the inner part of the steering wheel on the top or backside to do this.

    Well mate I believe that driving at a reasonable rate and generally being gentle on the go pedal for me at least it works and I often find that so many other vehicles just do not like following another at the legal limit or otherwise and just HAVE to overtake one and then find that they have just saved about 40 seconds in a arriving at the same point. Plus I have noticed when driving a low slung car as against say a SUV the speed in the SUV appears to be very slow even though the speedometer is showing the correct speed. In my Mazda 6 Sports Hatchback and because I am quite short speeds often look very dangerous when overtaking being that much closer to the road surface. Yes and my Mazda as I mentioned is also very streamlined and beautiful too!!

    Note that fancy multi-stage paints are still worth it as they last 3-4 times longer than normal modern paint.
    So your mother who always gets that pearl white car also has a more practical reason as well. The car at ten years old still looks fancy and shiny.
    Often most cars have one special color that year along with pearl white, so DO get it if you can. It's well worth the extra $300-$500 it costs when it comes time to eventually sell it, and more if it's something you plan to keep forever, as rare colors are worth a lot more on classic cars.

    It's interesting that the lane changing study was done in Toronto, where there seem to be a very high proportion of lane jumping idiots.
    The majority of gridlock I have seen in Toronto happens on excellent roads with no accidents or other distractions, making it a great place to observe the phantom traffic jam effect.
    This also happens when tailgaters fail to intimidate the car ahead of them then jam on the brakes causing a chain of lost acceleration behind them.
    I was once pulled over for driving erratically 10 km under the speed limit when I was actually doing a pretty steady 5 km over. I asked the officer if her speed was fluctuating and then simply stated, "You were seven cars behind me, and you know how summation of deceleration works." You can't be both consistently slow and not.
    She thanked me for driving carefully and sent me on my way. She was polite about it, too, because this is Canada, eh.

    well, for europe - or especially germany - the Gas in the morning ist the "expensivest" over the whole day - 'cause in the morning the most go to work, and that's why gas stations rise they'r prices here. a slight downfall is then to see at "high noon", and the "cheapest" prices can be archived in the night - where the prices can fall down (against the morning) down to 20ct/liter less, depending on the sort of gas / diesel. so, as a "non-european", you might get "flatly pulled over the table by yourself", when thinking "in the moring hour it might be the cheapest" - when you're taking a vacation in germany.

    Speaking of dirty cars
    I remember from the 6th grade of elementary school. We walked to school every day and joked every day when we passed a dirty car. This car was the dirtiest I have ever seen and it wasn't until about 4 months into school that someone wrote WASH ME on the car and we laughed and waited to see if the owner would wash it. Until someone added WASH ME 2X (twice). The problem is that this car is no longer in the driveway and we still don't know if he washed it. But it was fun while it lasted.🤣

    in addition too many states have winter blend and summer blend gas,

    so you might think you're saving money by fueling up when it's cold but in reality,
    if you're using winter blend gas you're actually fueling up more often
    and if you're constantly switching lanes to get ahead of other traffic in almost every state that's considered reckless driving

    My car has a loop on the driver's seatbelt, but it performs more like the button showed later in this video's segment. The other seatbelts have the loop too, but I think it serves a dual purpose by acting as the Energy Management Loop, but also keeping the buckle held in place while seatbelts are unfastened. But the driver's seatbelt look looks the same at first glance, but if you look closely, it's a seperate piece of fabric sewn on, while the other sestbelts are actually the same stretch of fabric sewn into a loop.
    It's a tiny bit of attention to detail that kind of went unnoticed until I saw this video and went out to examine the loop in my car.

    One design feature you missed is the headrests and the fact that they can all be removed in the same way, no matter what car you're in. "In the unlikely event of a water landing," your headrest can be used to break a side window to allow any trapped occupant(s) to escape. The metal posts that hold the headrest in the seat back are made specifically for this purpose.

      This is a dangerous belief to spread since many vehicles require special tools or button presses to remove the headrest and even then it's not guaranteed to work since window glass is VERY hard to break with brute force. Do not waste the only seconds you may have on a myth. Get a keyring window punch for your keyring if you drive near water.
