How to open a locked hood with a mechanical trick

Model: Toyota Yaris Xp130 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Body

The car shown in this video is a Toyota Yaris, but this mechanical trick to open a stuck hood is definitely suitable for any car. If the hood is stuck and we can't open it, and we are alone and have no one to help us leverage while trying to open the hood by activating the lever inside the cabin, we can use this method. We need a large screwdriver, which - unlike the video showing us - we will cover with a layer of tape, so that it cannot damage the painted parts of the bodywork. We place it under the hood lock, and go to open the lever inside. The hood will open.
