You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

This is really smart. Considering tail light will get you pulled over, this can save you some pain. I never figured out a good way to check on my own. Thanks!
Another tip is asking literally any human.
Edit: the instrument board should also issue a warning.
What if Stevie Wonder is the only person around
Have him step on the pedal
But can I trust him not to steal my car?
Where is he going to go?
Spain.
Interacting with other humans? No thank you!
Also I've never ever seen an instrument panel that indicates when a bulb is out. Maybe that's a feature on new vehicles, but not one I've ever heard of.
I miss my ancient Volvo, it had that feature on all the lights.
A brick
One good way to make sure it isn't working
Reminds me of that jokes about the two hunters in the woods.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Help, my friend got bit by a snake, and I think he's dead!"
"Stay calm, and check to make sure if he's actually dead."
BLAM
"Okay, he's definitely dead"
I think he meant "putting a brick on the brake in order to check yourself" but I guess throwing the brike on the lights also work.
Put on your emergency lights and walk around the vehicle?
Oh for brake lights, yeah, some weight probably works best, or backing near something and seeing if it lights up, don't even need a window
