Who has ever sat in the car and didn't have a bottle opener ready?

In fact, in every car there is a hidden bottle opener for crown caps.

Probably no one can open bottles as well as we Germans: lighters, the edges of tables, beer crates or other bottles - for some people almost anything is suitable for freeing a bottle from the crown cap.

In the car, this is more difficult if there is no suitable object at hand - after all, the inventory should not be scratched when the bottle cap is opened.

There is a hidden bottle opener in every car, as echo24.de* reveals.

Hidden bottle opener in the car: tips and tricks for motorists

The "hidden" bottle opener should only be used when the vehicle is stationary and not being driven.

You have to unbuckle yourself to open a bottle.

Well, who knows what the hidden bottle opener in the car is?

From a purely visual point of view, the object is already reminiscent of a classic bottle opener: the metal buckle on the safety belt is actually perfect with the rectangular hole in the middle.

So if you feel thirsty in the car, have a drink ready, but don't have a bottle opener: pull over, unbuckle your seatbelt and the driver has the perfect bottle opener at hand.

A bottle can be opened very easily with the metal buckle: attach the hole like a normal opener, press upwards and the bottle is uncorked.

As a driver, please only non-alcoholic drinks!

And even if there is a passenger with you: Please do not simply unbuckle your seat belt while driving, but look for a parking space and only unbuckle it when you are stationary in order to use the hidden opener.

Driving in summer: This is how the soft drinks stay cool

By the way: In modern cars in particular, there is even the option of keeping soft drinks cool while driving in summer.

Many cars now have a cooling function in the glove compartment.

When opening the glove compartment, a valve will catch the driver's eye - when the valve is open, cold air from the air conditioning system flows into the glove compartment.

The valve can be opened and closed by turning.

Drinks can be kept cold in this way, but snacks, especially chocolate, can also be protected from the summer heat.

However, it is important to remember to take the contents out of the glove compartment after the journey.

Because as soon as the car is stationary, no more air flows into the glove compartment.

Especially with chocolate, this can get pretty sticky in the summer.

For everyone who has always wondered whether they are actually allowed to drive a car without clothes in summer,

echo24.de

explains the legal situation.

In general,

echo24.de

has summarized some tips on the subject of driving as well as strange rules and regulations in road traffic.

Fuel prices are currently skyrocketing - drivers can easily save money because a popular mistake costs a lot of money and can be avoided.

There are also some things that will change for drivers this year - new rules will apply in 2022.

And while some regulations haven't reached everyone yet, there are some well-known "rules" that don't actually apply at all.
