Snake 'Grows' from Hood on Highway! Terrified Driver Seeks Fire Dept. Help, 4 Must-Know Snake-Proofing Tips
🚗 Highway Horror Story: An "Unexpected Passenger" on Board!
What's the scariest thing to encounter on the highway? Some say a flat tire, others say running out of gas. But for @jier_sabi, the real nightmare was a snake crawling out of the engine hood!
Here's what happened. One day, as they were driving home on the highway, they caught a glimpse of a long, thin "biological sensor" emerging from the gap in the engine hood. That's right—it wasn't a wire, not a wiper blade, it was a snake. 🐍

The shock factor was off the charts. They immediately decided "safety first," exited the highway, and rushed to the nearest fire station for help.
@jier_sabi (Author) In the end, we immediately got off the highway and went to the nearest fire station. They tried really hard to help us, but in the end, they couldn't find it! Hopefully, it just quietly left! We left the car parked outside overnight and only dared to drive it home the next day! Thanks to all the experts for their advice! And the humorous responses! We guess it climbed in when we stopped at a 7-Eleven in the suburbs of Miaoli! Because we only saw it after leaving Miaoli and getting back on the highway 👀 A lot of people said it might have crawled inside. So it was hard for us to stay calm! We were all screaming at the top of our lungs 🤣
But the snake had vanished, not a trace to be found. They had no choice but to leave the car parked outside overnight and muster the courage to drive it home the next day.

awxd5126 Hey, you can't "snake" on the highway (A pun in Chinese, as "snake-like driving" means swerving)
1yanglin Snake: I'm more nervous than you are. I was supposed to go south, how did I end up going north? Let me off the car! Ahhh 😄😄😄
atenza_7172 The person filming isn't helping?! 🤣😅😂
louis2kan Snake: Driver, just drop me off at the Hukou rest stop!
🔍 Why Would a Snake Move into an Engine Hood?
1. Free All-You-Can-Use Heater
Snakes are cold-blooded animals and love finding warm places when the weather gets cold. The temperature of your just-turned-off engine is basically a "five-star heating pad" to them—and it doesn't even need to be plugged in.
2. The Engine Bay is a Snake's "Private Guesthouse"
Dark, safe, no predators, and no deposit or rent. For a snake, the engine bay gets a "five-star rating, would stay again."
3. Accidental Taxi Ride
When you park near grassy areas, the snake might just be looking for a stroll near the convenience store and accidentally crawls into your car. The next thing you know, you start the engine, and it becomes a "cross-county passenger" that hasn't even paid its fare.
🛡 How to Prevent Snakes from Hitching a Ride?
Don't Park at a "Snake Bus Stop" Grassy areas, farmlands, and riversides are snake bus stops. Parking there for too long is like opening your door to welcome them in.
Tap the Hood a Few Times Before Starting To a snake, that sound is like a "police raid," scaring it into a quick getaway.
Occasionally Check Under the Chassis Especially after driving on mountain roads or through fields, check for any unexpected passengers to avoid bringing a snake home for a party.
Don't Let Your Garage Become a Snake's Buffet Rats and frogs are a snake's buffet. No food, no customers.
📌 Friendly Reminder
If you encounter a snake while driving, don't immediately start "swerving like a snake" or braking पानी से. First, stabilize the vehicle and drive cautiously, then seek help from the fire department. Remember—you earned your driver's license through skill, don't let a snake spirit possess you and suddenly turn you into a "snake driver"!
