87. Unlock Your Steering Wheel Quickly

Items Needed: Car keys
Est. Price: N/A

We’ve all been there before. There’s nothing more annoying than when your car’s steering wheel decides to lock up. If you’re in a hurry, this can add five to ten panic-induced minutes onto your trip, as you try and fail desperately to unlock the wheel and get going.

Try this easy hack instead, courtesy of TikTok’s @plato04x. First, put your key into the ignition. At the same time, turn your wheel all the way to the side the ignition is on (usually the right). After a few seconds, this should unlock the wheel so you can start driving.
