Going by the name Driver Ms May online, the motoring specialist regularly shares her top tips for car owners.
In a clip that has over seven million views online, May shares how to retrieve car keys that have been accidentally locked behind closed doors.

Most people think smashing one of the windows is the easiest way to get them back.
But May, who is from China, says this isn’t necessary.
And the solution requires some duct tape.
At the beginning of May’s top tip video, a man can be seen attempting to get into the vehicle using a rock to smash the small back window.
May can be heard saying: “Why did you smash someone else’s car?”
The man then responds by telling her that it is his car, but that he has locked his car keys and phone inside and can’t open the doors.
He states that he thought smashing the smallest piece of glass would be his easiest option.
May then reveals that the smallest part of the glass is actually the most expensive piece of glass on the vehicle.
The motoring expert says: “Actually, we only need a piece of tape to solve it.
“Watch me show you.”
May pulls out some yellow duct tape and begins fixing it to the car.
She creates a rectangle with a cross in the middle on the window by the seat where the items are.
After creating several layers of tape, she places one piece in a vertical strip.
“The tape is in place,” May says.
“Let’s see if this glass can be lowered.”
Using a fair bit of force, she pulls down on the tape which lowers the window, allowing her to grab the key and open the car door.
Viewers were left shocked by the tip, with some questioning whether it actually worked, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
One person wrote: “Is this possible?”
Another social media user said: “Thank you for this, it’s amazing.”
“What if you don’t carry tape everywhere you go,” Cassidy added.
Kathy commented: “I like this.”
“You’re amazing,” wrote another viewer.
