Unnecessary and unsafe car accessories

Car accessories make the car more convenient. However, not all accessories are necessary and one of them can cause unsafety when used.

Unreal HUD screen

Head-up display (HUD) is a popular accessory that helps drivers track information such as speed and directions without taking their eyes off the road. However, according to British car expert David Coulthard, an fake HUD screen can cause distraction if not installed in the right location or with poor quality.

"When you look at a non-made screen, it can cause discomfort or obstruct visibility, thereby increasing the risk of accidents," Coulthard warned.

Fake safety belt

Some car accessories advertised as improving comfort, such as fake seat belts with cushions or devices that enhance comfort when driving.

However, traffic safety expert Donald Caruso, from the US Transportation Safety Organization, said: "Using these accessories can reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt system in case of a collision. Safety belts must tightly hug and fix the driver and passengers, so their structure should not be changed."

Overloaded hook

The hook is designed to hang small items such as handbags or drinking water on the front seats. However, hanging too many heavy objects on this hook can reduce the driver's visibility, or cause obstacles when driving.

According to James Oliver, an expert from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, hanging heavy objects can change the center of the chair and affect the operation of the airbag system, causing danger when a collision occurs.

Decorative fuel tank cap

Decorative fuel cell caps are not only beauty accessories but also pose a potential risk of fuel leakage. Substandard fuel tank caps or replacements with decorative accessories can leave the joints exposed, causing leakage of fuel, increasing the risk of fire and explosion.

In addition, unghosted fuel tank caps can also make it difficult to close the fuel tank, especially when it rains or in humid conditions.

working on decorative mud

Although mudfielders can help protect the vehicle from mud and dirt, excessive decorative mudfielders can make it difficult to control the vehicle's operation.

Experts warn that decorative mud brakes can cause the vehicle to lose control when passing through deep water or mud, affecting road compliance and braking ability. Unnecessary decorative accessories can change the inherent safety factors of the vehicle.
