How to Instantly Unlock a Spinning Car in the Snow.

How to Instantly Unlock a Spinning Car in the Snow.

Is your car stuck in the snow?

Are your wheels spinning and you can't move it?

And that's where we ask ourselves:how to get a car out of the snow?

No need to call a tow truck which will cost you a fortune!

There is a simple trick to prevent your wheels from spinning and unlock your car.

The trick is to put sand directly under the spinning tires . Watch:

How to

1. Pour the sand as close as possible to the spinning wheel.

2. Also pour some in front of the wheel so you can drive over it when starting.

3. Get in the car and start.

4. Shift into first gear.

5. Step on the accelerator gently so the wheels can grip the sand.

Result

There you go, thanks to the sand, you have freed your car from the snow :-)

Now you know how to get rid of the snow!

You don't even need to call a tow truck! It's still more economical, isn't it?

Now you know what to do the next time it happens to you.

Don't have sand on hand? You can find some here.

Note that this trick also works with wood ash.

Why does it work?

Conventional tires have no grip on snow and frost. It's as if the car is stuck. This is where the sand comes in!

Thanks to its millions of small grains, the sand will allow the tire to regain traction on the ground.

In any case, don't forget to avoid pressing hard on the accelerator at the risk of ejecting the sand!
