Drivers are just realizing how to use a universal car part to get their vehicle moving again if it's stuck

A DRIVER has revealed an easy solution to free your stuck vehicle from sand if you find yourself in this compromising position — and you won't have to spend a dime.

She unveiled her advice in a TikTok video, which has amassed over 486,000 views.

Jay's (@_officiallyjj0) video clip begins with overlay text: "A life hack that we all needed."

Beneath this overlay text is a shot of a sedan stuck in sand.

Next, Jay's passenger removes and places a mat from the vehicle's cabin under the car's rear-right tire.

New overlay text on the clip states: "Place mats under all tires."

Jay then gets behind the vehicle's steering wheel and moves using the mats for traction.

Viewers voiced their thoughts surrounding this video's advice through comments.

One viewer wrote: "It helps with snow as well."

Another TikTok account responded to this snow suggestion: "Make sure to [also] have a small shovel, scraper, and extra blankets in the trunk as an emergency aid."

But this isn't the only tip stuck drivers can use in a pinch.

An auto expert showed how simple it is to remove a partially stuck car from a ditch without scraping its undercarriage.

The gearhead revealed how to complete his trick using his car's steering wheel, gear shifter, emergency brake, and gas pedal.

He said to start by turning your steering wheel toward your stuck tire.

Next, he shifted into reverse gear and explained that you must press and hold the gas pedal until the car's revolutions per minute meter reaches 2,000.

The auto expert clarified that releasing the emergency brake when the RPM meter hits 2,000 will result in the vehicle jolting backward with enough force to separate the wheel from its ditch.
