Hats, gloves, scarves and other items including ice scrapers are often thrown on dashboards or car floors on cold winter mornings.
Once drivers finish clearing windscreens of ice and snow, they don't always think about where they put their extra items in the car. But not putting them away correctly can land you in trouble and cost you up to £2,500 in fines.
It's worth taking the time to safely place our belongings in our vehicles so they don’t move or fall somewhere that could impact our ability safely drive, such as in the footwells or on the gear shifter. This would be considered dangerous driving, as you might not be able to safely use the pedals or see clearly due to obstruction or reflection.
