The danger of suffering major injuries or passing away after being ejected from the car is greatly increased.

4. Supporting dangerous behavior

Legs propped up on the dashboard could encourage other risky driving practices, like not using a seatbelt or participating in distracting activities.

These activities may further raise the chance of suffering injuries in a car accident.

For the sake of both your safety and the protection of other passengers, it is imperative that you never put your legs up on a car’s dashboard.

To reduce the risk of injury in the case of an accident, always use your seatbelt and sit in the right seating position.
