Are Car Accessories Safe?

Whilst there are many car accessories available for us to purchase from many different suppliers, it is important to understand whether these are truly safe for us to be using. Whilst it is not against the law or highway code to use these items, you do need to understand how they can impact you whilst driving.

One of the most popular accessories to purchase is a hanging air freshener or hanging dice. Whilst these can look good, they are not the safest for you to be using. They can cause more of a distraction in your vehicle which can mean you take your eyes off of the road.

Another popular choice is steering wheel covers, with many people choosing fluffy steering wheel covers to spice up their car. Again, these can look good and feel lovely to drive with, but they are not safe to be used at all. These covers can impact the grip you have on your steering wheel, making it more likely that you are going to lose control.

So, keep yourself and other road users safe, by simply keeping your car the way it is. Don’t be dragged into the trap of unnecessary car accessories.
