The handles located above the door on the passenger side. Grabbed when the vehicle is out of control and usually accompanied by an "OH SHIT!"
Billy was high when he was driving, I swear I grabbed the oh shit handles like a hundred times.
My grandma was riding the oh shit handles even though we were only going like 40 mph.

Get the oh shit waddup mug.
term referring to the handles above or adjacent to the windows of a car. they are most often grabbed when the driver initiates sudden, and often extreme, accelerating or decelerating motion of the vehicle. some prefer to hold on to them at all times due to anxiety or distrust of the drivers abilities in general.
Man, I can't believe you totaled your car! I'll be safer rollin' with the ghost of Eval Knieval than with you in a car with no oh shit handles

The handle on the roof or up high on the side of a car on the inside that you can hold while going around really sharp turns, etc. but usually never use. When you do use it it is probably during something very dangerous, i.e. drifting around public roads or swerving around deer, and gets its name from the words you exclaim at the times you have to grab it.
"OH SHIT" I said as I grabbed the oh-shit handle when we were drifting around the really sharp turn.
