Deadly danger of dashboard clutter
DASHBOARD clutter is increasing the chances of accidents according to a survey.
As many as 33 per cent of van drivers and 34 per cent of truck drivers have had between 11 and 30 near misses due to obscured views in the past year, the poll by Autoglass found.
More than a third of van drivers had fast food packaging on their dashboards, while 24 per cent had cuddly toys or other accessories, 21 per cent had newspapers and 19 per cent had coffee cups.
