While some might love staying at home in bed and cuddling up during rainy days, most of us have to still get stuff done as we head to work, run errands, etc.

So that means getting in the car and heading out (As always: please travel safely).

But we, unfortunately, can't predict the future and you never know when your vehicle, or one single part of your car, is going to decide to just give up.

TikTok user @stephenkeeling9 found himself next to a driver who had DIYed their way to working windscreen wipers during a downpour by fastening a rope (or possibly a shoelace) to their front wipers.

Just like @stephenkeeling9, many commenters found the video hilarious, while a few others did come to the motorist's defence saying that they have also had to use this trick mid-drive and it was probably their most embarrassing moment.

Desperate times might call for desperate measures but if you know that there is an issue with your vehicle that could be putting you or anyone else in danger, then we would recommend staying off the road. Especially when the weather is bad.

And we're sure many experts, officials, and literally anyone else would recommend the same thing.

We also love a good DIY-hack and TikTok tip, but sometimes it might just be a nice temporary fix and it could also put you at risk.

Stay safe out there and check your windscreen wipers, people!
