Car floor mats seem to be an inconspicuous thing, but they actually play a vital role in driving.
Car foot pads are the closest to the car’s accelerator, brake, clutch, etc. If the choice of foot pads is not reasonable enough, it is likely to shift during use, or even block the main brake, causing accidents. Not only that, some foam and plastic foot pads can also become combustion-supporting materials.
Foot pads can also cause major car accidents
There have been data showing that 38% of car accidents each year are caused by car mats, with as many as one million victims. The US Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) data also shows that acceleration caused 17 collisions and 1,200 injuries due to unconscious foot pad sliding. It is conceivable that the harm caused by foot pads cannot be ignored.
There are many similar cases. Many car owners said that they had encountered similar situations while driving. Fortunately, the impact was not serious and no major traffic accidents occurred. Otherwise, it would be a real cup.
However, there are so many car mat products that really blind your eyes! But you have to know that buying inappropriate, inferior, or improperly used mats will directly or indirectly cause accidents.
Laying multi-layer foot pads is dangerous
For a large part of children’s shoes to facilitate cleaning, a layer of rubber, PVC and other easy-to-clean foot pads are laid on the fabric foot pads. But I want to tell you that such behavior is actually very dangerous!
According to online surveys, laying double-layer foot pads has a high probability of shifting the foot pads. The laying of double-layer foot pads makes the upper foot pads unable to be fixed and is prone to displacement events. Because the foot pads are new, car owners are more likely to be negligent, and the chance of accidents is greatly increased.
Deformed foot pads should be replaced in time
Foot pads have a useful life, which is ignored by many children’s shoes. Even if the regular foot pads were bought at the beginning, problems such as wrinkles, deformation and even damage will occur after a long time of use. It also affects driving safety, so when it is used for a certain number of years, it must be replaced with a new foot pad. Children’s shoes must not be stingy with your purse! Otherwise, it will be too late to regret when something happens.
Front and back, front and back cannot be reversed
The front and back of some styles of insoles are very similar, so you must carefully identify them.
The upside-down of the front and back of the foot pad not only can not play the role of dust and skid prevention, but also can not be firmly fixed, and even interfere with the pedal. Laying upside down is also very dangerous.
