Most people don't think about their car as a "room" in their home that needs to be cleared of clutter. But it's one more area where people tend to just throw things in randomly and rarely clean.
Having just completed some continuing ed classes for my EMT license one of the topics was car accidents and flying objects.
When people fill their car with clutter they usually don't think "what if I have an accident - can these bags (or books or bats or bowling balls....) fly from the back of the car into the front during an accident and cause serious damage to my body?
It was a great class! Thinking about all of the things that people fill their car with - especially when they go on a trip or are just doing sports - brings to mind that cars can be dangerous places.
It's something that we don't usually think about. But when you get a picture of a bowling ball hurling from the back seat to the front and shattering your front window - not to mention your head.... then you get a better picture of the damage that the contents of your car can have.
So - a few good points that we can learn from this.
Make sure that everything in your car is secure. If you have heavy objects of things that can potentially move from their location - secure them.
Use bags / boxes to hold lose objects - and a lid would be preferable.
Keep the clutter to a minimum and keep your car as neat as if it were another room in your home - not a dumping ground.
Clutter can be dangerous - and this is just one example.
Now go out and clean up your car!
