Car accessories, while they add some style and convenience, can be a real headache when it comes to road safety. Often they just distract from what's really important - driving. I always wonder why manufacturers don't recommend installing various "chips", because it's often not clear whether they meet safety requirements.

What you should know

For example, tinted windows – it looks cool, but when it comes to visibility, especially at night or in the rain, it can be a serious problem. You might not notice someone approaching you or someone suddenly stopping on the road. It's not so much a style as a potential danger.

Abo musical signal. I understand that it may look cool and fun, but in reality it can cause confusion on the road. When another driver hears a melody instead of the usual horn, he may simply not understand that this is a sign to let go. This can be not only strange, but also dangerous.

Regarding portable TVs in the car, it's generally terrible. If you're standing at a traffic light or in a parking lot, it's okay, but when you're driving, it's just distracting. Instead of looking at the road, you're looking at the screen, and who knows what could happen before you've paid attention to the situation.

Navigators – this is, of course, convenient, but if you are constantly staring at the screen, instead of following what is happening on the road, then this can also lead to trouble. You just need to properly configure the navigator so that one glance is enough.

Massage pads – this is also interesting, but for safety reasons I wouldn't recommend them. During an accident, the driver can simply slip out from under the seat belt, and this can result in serious injuries.

Well, one more thing – accessories on the rearview mirror. Talismans, key chains, toys... They seem to add a fun atmosphere, but when they start moving and attracting attention, it's another risk factor. Especially in conditions when you need to be as focused as possible on the road.




This is how I look at these accessories – they look interesting, but you have to be very careful with them so as not to forget about the main thing – safety.
