The most 'dangerous' sitting position in a car

• Sedan
  

For sedans, the front seat next to the driver is the most dangerous seat. Because when an accident occurs on the front side, the driver often reflexively turns the steering wheel to avoid the accident. Therefore, the seat next to the driver will be the most heavily impacted.

In addition, in the event of a head-on collision, the person sitting in the front row will easily have their head and chest hit the dashboard or windshield if the airbag does not deploy. In the rear row, the impact will be lower than in the front seat.

7-seat SUV, MPV

In contrast to sedans, SUVs and MPVs are more dangerous if sitting in the back. These vehicles have separate frames and cabins. Accordingly, the cabin is attached to the frame with many bolts and nuts, so it has better impact resistance than sedans.

However, if hit from behind, the rear of an SUV or MPV can easily be deformed and pose a direct danger to the lives of the rear passengers.

According to experts, the middle seat in the second row is considered the safest in SUVs and MPVs. The risk of serious injury in a traffic accident is the lowest, and it can reduce the damage by more than 70% compared to other seats if the vehicle is involved in a collision.

This is the reason why many people do not buy cars

Owning a car for the family is a good thing, but I regret it because there are other more reasonable options.

Hatchback

Similar to other car models, the seat next to the driver is always the most dangerous position, whether in a frontal or rear-end collision. In the event of a collision, the person sitting in this position can hit their head on the windshield if they are not wearing a seat belt.

The rear seats are considered safer. The middle seat, in particular, is still considered the safest.

16-29 seat vehicle line

For 16-29 seat vehicles, the two front seats next to the driver are considered the most dangerous. Because in the event of a collision, the inertia will cause the person sitting in these two positions to easily hit their head on the dashboard or fly up to the windshield.

Meanwhile, the rear seats will be less affected.

In case of a side impact, the seats next to the windows are the most dangerous.

If the car is hit from below, the last row of seats is the most dangerous. Therefore, the middle seat will be the safest.

Passenger cars over 30 seats

The most dangerous position in a vehicle with more than 30 seats is in the row of seats along the window on the driver's side.

Because the possibility of a collision with a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction is higher than with a vehicle traveling in the same direction, the driver's side seating position is more dangerous.

Not only that, broken glass in an accident will cause further injury to the person sitting in this position.

Therefore, the safest seats are the seats in the middle area.

Mistakes when washing cars and motorbikes at home

Many people have the habit of washing their cars and motorbikes at home. This can save a certain amount of money. However, the reality is that most people wash their cars with detergent and dishwashing liquid at home, which is really wrong.
