VIDEO: Car owner’s manual – chapter one, snake removal

Snakes can get into the darnedest places, such as your car. The issue then becomes how to get it out. The answer is, with a lot of work and care as well as an equal amount of patience, such as possessed by the man in this video shot somewhere possibly in Southeast Asia Getting a small snake out of a car is tough. Getting a large one out is practically impossible - at least extracting the reptile in one piece and alive is.

Getting a small snake out of a car is tough. Getting a large one out is practically impossible - at least extracting the reptile in one piece and alive is.

One family in the United States proved this point. %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal This video Visit youtube page false https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d19AcdEh2nk false false%> show the entire dashboard by the driver detached from the interior to reveal a very large snake indeed, or what can be seen of it. Unfortunately, it appears that this snake didn’t survive the ordeal, but not through lack of the car owner’s care. Wrapping itself around sharp objects likely didn’t help its chances of survival.

Some snakes, though, are %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 oLinkExternal just along for the ride Visit Youtube page false https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZFTjUzG1-A false false%>.

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result from the first attempt. That goes for some people who wish to put petrol in their car but don’t quite get the spatial thing, as this video shows. The person appears to expect the filler cap to have moved from one side of the vehicle to the other simply because she drove around the petrol pump.

    Sure, it’s a spectacular run down a mountain road. But it’s also an extremely visual reminder that highway infrastructure is important for work and play. Let’s not forget that the road - in this case Switzerland’s Grimsel Pass, 2,164m - has to be smooth enough for Jean Yves “Rollerman” Blondeau to reach those speeds without being chucked over edge and down a cliff. The pass is a driver’s delight as it crosses the continental divide in the Alps where rivers flow one way towards the North Sea and the ot
