The handle in most passenger vehicles and trucks that is located in the interior of the vehicle above the door. Used in extreme driving situations where passengers do not wish to be thrown about the interior of the vehicle. Situations that warrant the usage of the "oh shit handle" include hard braking, abrupt
cornering,
skidding,
careening off bridge. It is usually considered polite for driver to warn passengers before they feel obligated to use the "oh shit handle"
Example:
Me: "Mike, I am going to take
the 25 mph turn at
55... better grab the os shit handle!"
Mike: "I've been holding the oh shit handle since you started the car!"

The handle conveniently located above the window used to stabilize of oneself during turbulant driving. Can be found in most vehicles above
passanger windows, and sometimes above the drivers' for extra convenience. Most often used in off-road environments, such as
mudding, or auto-crossing.
Example:
Ian - "let's see if we can make it through this
trench at 35
mph.."
Charlie - "OH SHIT" (reaches for handle and
braces for impact)
Ian - "that was sick"
Charlie - "Thank god for the oh shit handle"

A handle usually directly above the door or passenger window in a car originally designed to hang dry cleaned clothes. Since no one does this anymore, the only known purpose is for holding on for dear life when riding with new or non-drivers, the elderly, off-duty prison guards or people in other traditionally suicide prone lines of work, and
henchmen on a violent carchase. The handles are usually grabbed with a cry of, "Oh shit!"; thus the
moniker.
Example:
"OK
Gordy, turn left at the pharmacy here. Yes, this corner. Well, just turn at the next
blo...Jesus, watch out for the curb! Oh shit, Nik, grab the
Oh Shit Handles!
