We are very close to starting the summer holidays and correctly placing the objects, pets and people transported by a vehicle is essential to guarantee safety while traveling and minimize potential risks in the event of an accident.
According to data handled by Cleverea, in the event of a sudden stop, any object that travels loose in the back of a vehicle multiplies its weight by 40 if it is traveling at only 50 kilometers per hour. In this way, a 75-kilo passenger would hit the front seat with a force equivalent to a weight of 4.2 tons, in what is known as the “elephant effect.”
Therefore, some objects that can be dangerous in case of accident or maneuverabrupt they should not be transported in the car, or if necessary, very carefully.

First of all, pointed or cutting objects: knives, scissors or other sharp objects must be stored in the trunk, inside a closed box or container that is sufficiently resistant.
Also glass bottles: it is preferable to transport them in the trunk or in a padded box to prevent them from moving and breaking.
Even flammable chemicals and aerosols: when transporting fuels, solvents or aerosols, which are highly flammable, it is convenient to store them as far as possible from the passengers.
Similarly, avoid transporting heavy tools: wrenches, hammers or screwdrivers should be stored in the trunk, properly secured.
Likewise, electronic devices: avoid having loose electronic devices inside the car, such as tablets or mobile phones, as they can become real projectiles in the event of a collision.
