What if your car doesn't have a handbrake?

@@glitchwolf946.5 then fix ya handbrake

We have a mini van.

Lol FACTS!

First one is to stop and the second one is to take rest.

I Learned it now thank you 😅

Give it a brake mate.

8. Resting your foot on the clutch pedal

why?

@@Gunsmoke2220 it wears out the clutch

Killer habit but doesn't feel like it 🤣

@@Gunsmoke2220 Because when you hold the pedal you are causing unnecessarily wear and tear to the clutch. Getting your clutch replaced is expensive.

Yeah it may cause the clutch to slip a little depending on how much pressure you have on pressure

I have a light truck that’s 12 years old and I have yet to replace my brakes.

aren’t you using the brakes anyways tho?

I always laugh when I'm driving with someone and they keep accelerating all the way up until the light. Like bro fuel is $6 a gallon and all of that energy just went into wearing down your brakes.

@@XoX1971 breaks*

@@andreimitrica77 You're wrong it's Brakes. Break is like taking a lunch break. Brakes are for cars.

superior info/advice here should have been all caps!!!!!!!!!!!

@@dbblrr yesssssss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another way to know if you’re using the parking break correctly is if your car doesn’t rock back after you’re done putting it in park.

You can even stop pressing the brake after using the hand brake to allow to car to be held only by the hand brakes... Then you place the car in park

Put it in neutral so the car can roll backwards right before you can put it in park

Not so pump is made to run cool are it wouldnt be safe in the gas tank

I always do Foot brake-Shift to neutral gear-handbrake-then park gear

Doesn't matter. I've been working in a car repair shop and NEVER encountered a broken parking pawl or parking cog. You'd probably wear the engine long sooner than the parking pawl.

they may be using their indicator not realizing their blinker fluid reservoir is low or has gone dry.

8. Resting your foot on the clutch pedal is no no 9. Using both feet in automatic car is danger

Why I check comments after video. 8min of my life wasted

Yunas Magsi he was telling us that breaks are bad, so is it a coincidence that he left out ‘Read your owners manual so you know what fuel to put in” and “Change your oil and blinker fluid ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) every 5 thousand miles” (change BMW blinker fluid every 3.5k miles)

NANA TAKYI COLLINS no way 😮 didn’t know !!! 🤣

I know this is over a year old but another terrible reason is the train collision (not a real train), basically if there's a bunch of cars really close to each other and someone from behind hits the car from the back, then that car will hit the car in front of them, causing that car to hit the car in front of them, and so on. This makes it to everyone is held responsible but the person in the front.

You have to do all of these to drive. Cars don't last forever

Letting a car sit for months or even several years can be worse for the car than simply driving it (which, obviously, it was designed to do).

Final Destination taught me this

Great point!

This is got to be some of the worst advice I've ever seen in my life. think about it if you take your shoes off and you move them back towards the seat the only thing that could possibly make the shoes go forward to the pedals is when you step on the brakes by this point not only is your foot in the way but the brake pedal would also be in the way making it completely impossible for the shoe to get lodged under the brake pedal. The saying must really be true Common Sense isn't that common.

Thomas PC doesn't seem like a real problem cause my dad's had his 99 corolla since 1999 and he has had like 20 keys on his key chain(haha) and the ignition isn't causing any problems

"Downshifting creates premature unnecessary wear on the gears and engine itself", that's a myth. Downshifting is often used by racers to brake before turns. To clear it out even more, downshifting is different from engine braking. Downshifting is shifting from a higher to lower gear (and it would only wears the clutch if done wrong much as upshifting) while engine breaking is just idling your accelerator at the same gear. Does it wear your gears faster? Maybe marginally, but nothing that I would call "premature" or "unnecessary". If driving downhill I would recommend regular braking first then engine brake all the way down to avoid any clutch damage since most people can't even upshift properly and to save your poor braking pads and discs from premature unnecessary melting.

Truckers engine brake all the time

Michael lrg Maybe your body's telling you to work harder.

No it won't. How are you going to stop instantly? Same laws of physics that apply to me, also apply to you.

We'll see who has the better brakes then

Because your car won't get damaged if someone runs into you from behind...

The person from behind still has to pay for damages genius

Not too long before we'll be able to easily prove in a court of law that you purposefully slammed on the brakes, with the computer data of your ABS system, the dash mounted cameras in the area, and the traffic cameras that cover the entirety of streets in urban areas, there would be no corroboration of your testimony that you had legitimate reason to brake hard, and a preponderance of the evidence would leave a judge no choice but to find the brake slammer at fault, the only reason it doesn't happen now, is the evidence is lacking, but the ability to bring that evidence to court is REAL now. You *think* you're "so intelligent" causing an accident because "all rear endings are the followers fault", but they're not, when the first actions are by you, and your actions are intended to create a collision, then it is absolutely YOU who are at fault if one does occur. You know your neighbor driving along side you has 2 or more high definition video capture devices, so think twice before you decide to purposefully put people in danger, already thinking you're smart enough to know the outcome. And my brakes and reaction time are far better than those of the 65 year old long-tooths who say stuff like "I'll purposefully slam on my brakes because I don't like how big a car behind me is in my mirror".

I second this. You wanna put the weight of the car on the e brake and not on the park pole.

*brakes

Actually, Lone Wanderer, your grandfather knows what he's doing. If you brake lightly in a Prius it uses "regenerative braking" to recover some of the car's kinetic energy, which it uses to charge the battery. Gentle braking in a Prius doesn't actually use the brakes at all. Also, in this video, the last recommendation ("#1") is dead wrong. Using engine braking saves your brake pads, but wears your transmission, clutch (if you have one), and engine. It also slows your car without lighting up the brake lights, which increases the risk of getting rear-ended. Brake pads are cheap, transmissions, clutches & collisions are expensive, so do the math.

If you actually know how to downshift properly, it wont put any wear at all onto the engine, clutch, or drivetrain. In fact, it will actually reduce it in most cases. It will also save a little fuel on the downhil. And if another driver can't tell that your speed is reducing without lights, that's their problem.

Lone Wanderer I try to treat my brakes right and sometimes I even let the car just freewheel to a stop. But I almost never use my E brake because I always forget to disengage it (theres nothing to tell you its still on). Also I think its stuck because my rear rims get hotter than my front even though the handle is in the off position.

David Burton you're not really reducing your speed though. You're just maintaining a driving speed without using the gas pedal. When you need to slow down you will use your brakes as usual.

Daredevil Mason you have a good eye!

I don’t think a minute or two will hurt anything. Excessive idling, yes. That will cause deposit build up in the combustion chamber and eventually preignition.

@@american_patriot1776 especially a carburetor. Until the engine is nice and warm, the fuel won’t be as atomized as it should be. You’ll notice it will run a little rough until it reaches operating temperature.

HUEHUEHUE SO FUNNY

I am a direction driver and I agree

If you don't have the money to drive your car, that's okay - times can be tough, I guess. But expect that you might be having to buy a new fuel pump somewhere down the road.

Clarrisani ‍ that's true..

#2? you can't idle to warm up an auto trans car in the cold?

littlegoobie you can't figure out what he meant?

Lol same here when I was a kid I would put it in Neutral and coast as far as I could and then turn the engine back on and in my manual vehicles I had I would just pop the clutch and jumpstart them I remember putting $.50 in my gas tank of course gas was only $.89 when I started driving

Point nr 5 is REALLY bad advice, new brake pads is dirt cheep and easy to replace. New rear brakes because they have not been used hard enugh cost in the 1000 $ range.... (been there done that, not doing it again, I am now back to braking hard at end of every drive to make sure the rear brakes is engaged hard also).

Changing the fuel filter when it's inside the fuel tank isn't a real good plan. A better reason not to run your fuel levels very low is because the fuel pump, mounted inside the tank, is cooled by the fuel itself. And the less fuel in the tank on a hot day the hotter the fuel and the less it cools the pump which can lead to premature failure. Easier to just keep the tank at least half full or better.

its not damaging the engine but its wearing out fuel pump somewhat faster

+darwinrover You're not doing anything to damage your care mate. All is good. Car manufacturers don't want you to damage their cars, filling it when the fuel light comes on is fine. Running it till it's literally starving for fuel is not fine though.

I’ve been trying to do that after doing a few suspensions upgrades and for the first time ever I’ve slightly regretted having a loud exhaust😂

Both hands on the wheel.

@MachineGunIt usually called transmission fluid and it does need changing occasionally

@@alexbrown1050 😂😂😂😂💣

Commissar0617 it is not necessary on a regular basis, but they should be checked for kinks, abrasion marks and dry rot. Especially with the latter they may loose structural integrity in some situations, usually those you need the most braking power. Also More moisture might get through them into the brake fluid over time. In General you can say at least every two years brake fluid should be replaced and while doing it is a good time to check the brake lines as well

LOOOOL, no need to change them in nfs or gta

n0f3aR629 are you shitting me

As Alex Ku said, brake lines can perish over time. Remember, they're normally made of rubber (only the last bit though), and all rubber components eventually perish. And I don't think I need to tell you what can happen if you have cracked brake lines...

Seriously don't worry about brake lines. The last brake lines I had that NEEDED to be changed was on a 1996 van that I owned in 2015. They were original. The biggest thing is making sure you have a reputable mechanic. They will tell you when the lines need changing.

He was talking of a LONG downhill run. using the brakes down a long hill leaves you with no brakes near the bottom called brake fade ,through overheating.

What you just said only applies to straight roads

true on flat ground but on a downhill grade, shift gear down to save brakes from overheating.

Brandon Smith Good advice.

A lot of people don't do this for some reason. *It's common sense* First off I'd like to say that I've only been on the road for 3 years. I am by far not the safest or best driver out there, I do make mistakes and I do my best to keep myself, my passengers and other road users as safe as I can. Even though I have not had an accident, I have had to avoid many. I've learnt a lot and I still have much, much more to learn. I've noticed that people don't use their high-beams when driving country roads at night and they can only see about 10 - 15 meters in front of them. This is an issue cause the roads generally have an 80-100kmh speed limit. You're not going to stop in 15 meters at that speed and avoiding an object at that speed is sketchy considering these roads don't have any runoff space and you might be so focused on the obstruction that you don't notice the car coming in the opposite direction. It doesn't matter if you know the road or not, there are unexpected variables like broken down cars - other cars, pedestrians and animals, debris etc.. I feel like there are a few people out there that also don't know the limits of their vehicle. Like the braking distances, cornering and acceleration capabilities in different types of weather conditions and road types. This can help in overtaking and stopping, and knowing how much room for error *or unexpected road conditions* you have and at traffic lights in the wet or on bad roads. *I've seen people overshoot the lights in bad weather.* People need to learn how to read other drivers actions. You always need to be asking yourself. *Will they pull out in front of me? Will they come into my lane? Are they impaired? Do they know what their car can and can't do? Are they aware of my presence? Can they spot the danger ahead?* You need to be thinking about these things all the time and assessing every driver around you in all directions. I feel that having knowledge about these things can be the difference between making it home to your family and just being another unfortunate victim. There is also tailgating and I've noticed that both the tailgater and the tailgatee are making the situation dangerous. First the tailgatee might not be attentive enough to realise that they are being tailgated and do not adjust for the situation. A quick example of this is at the lights. The tailgated might decide to apply heavy braking at an amber light, not being aware of the tailgaters presence, when it would be acceptable and much safer to pass through the intersection, this will come as a surprise to the tailgater. They'll try to stop but will rear end the driver in front. I've seen it and I don't know why people do it, the only explanation I can come up with is that they are pressuring the driver in front to speed up or let them pass. There are the drivers that aren't aware of their surroundings. A lot of people sit at an intersection and are only focused on the lights or their phones and what they don't realise is, that even though they aren't moving, they're still prone to accidents. There are still other road users moving around them and it is very possible for them to make a mistake or have their vehicle malfunction. A pedestrian could be walking across the road when the lights turn green and because you weren't paying attention, you hit them. A tree could be falling, a vehicle out of control, an untied down object could fall off a ute and be rolling your way etc.. Maybe the light goes green and you don't spot the runaway driver and the police cars chasing it. There are so many things you have to look out for and take into account. That's why it's recommended to only drive for 2 hours then have a break because a fatigued or impaired driver can not fully pay attention or react in time. You *CAN'T* always avoid an accident, but you can always prevent the possibility of one. Either I'm thinking about this too much or people simply need to be more educated on driving.

A Sad Pork Chop efficient driving would cover most these issues along with using less fuel overall...Still, there are too many distractions for people to pay attention while driving...How our society is set up has not helped in this area...Which is why I don’t mind the idea of self driving cars and public transportation for the public at large.

This is literally me everyday of driving. Im honestly disappointed that the majority of drivers don't have this idea in their mind.

Any modern EFI engine only uses fuel when the throttle is depressed. Cruising in neutral actually uses fuel as the automatic choke function of the idle control valve supplies fuel to keep the car at an idle speed and stop it from stalling. Going downhill in a lower gear and not accelerating at all uses no fuel whatsoever and the engine can be used as a "brake" by creating a vacuum. This is achieved when the intake throttle body (or bodies) stay closed and the inertia of the car builds resistance against the dead weight of the engine, trying to slow it down. Kind of like where the engine is in a state of only constantly breathing out, and not taking any air in.

Not neutral! Low gear! “L” or “S” or whatever your transmission offers for the lower gear. And the next gear down for a manual.

In some places, coasting downhill in neutral or in a commercial vehicle with the clutch depressed is illegal. The reason for that is it disconnects the engine from the driveline, eliminating the use of engine braking to control one's downhill speed. The engine will only turn so fast at a given throttle setting, no matter whether it's being driven externally or by the fuel burning in the cylinders. The amount of air the engine can draw past the throttle valve is what determines how fast it turns.

Good advice. I noticed that in 95% of T-bone collisions on car crash videos, they steer towards where the other car is going to be -- ensuring the maximum damage. As you said, aim towards where the other car is going away from.

Also point your wheels into the curb.

+Gordon Bell: Wheels AWAY FROM the curb if you are parking uphill.

POOR SPELLING. ITS BRAKE... AND THEN...

Silverhand290 lol 😂

Silverhand290 ]

My thoughts exactly

Then why are you here

There are a lot of people who ignore weird sounds. They really shouldn't ignore screaming sounds in the wheels. Could be bad brakes.

TheJR1948 Right over your head

Good one Gazza :P

As far as fuel in the tank. I keep it no lower than a quarter tank in the winter. If I know it will get cold. I will top it off. In the summer time. Don't let it run out Know about how many gallons (liters) your takes takes when filled. Take two or three units off that to allow room in tank for expansion. e.g. My car tops out at 10.5 gallons (10.5-2=8.5) I fill it to no more than 8.5 gallons in the hot summer.

Lol

Every fuel type is different and emissions and technological advancement means these idiotic common place videos are dangerous to people who listen to them. The first Euro 5 diesels with DPF filters would automatically inject adblue into the fuel tank once it had been filled and was based on a ratio of a full tank being issued. So topping up every 1/2 tank would run down your additive 2x as much... these videos need banning in all seriousness.

I thought you could also keep it in drive, engage handbrake then put into park

Is that so it will be easier to get the gear out of park using manual transmission? I put foot firmly down on brake then lift hand brake while in park already when car is parked on a slight incline using automatic transmission .

the whole point is to not have pressure on the gearing of your transmission, be it auto or manual.

i dont think yours or the youtubers order matter (differences not the actual order) i say because if you have your break stepped on first(matters the most) then it wouldnt matter if you switch to park or have it on Drive. Then you would slap on the hand break. I say that the Park and Drive options do not matter because you have the pressure on the brake pads (unless your slightly moving down/up hill. So your car wouldnt have the pressure as for told which should have the same outcome. Im no expert I just think this is how it would work feel free to correct.

Jose Octavio If the footbrake is released after the handbrake, then the brake cable will take the strain. if the gear is selected then the footbrake released, the transmission will take the strain. I imagine a brake cable is cheaper to replace/fix than parking gear/transmission. If both are applied before footbrake is released, then I imagine it will depend on the the tension applied to the handbrake.
