Be it a car or a bike, nowadays new things are being added to it every day, so that people can get convenience. But there are many things which we often see, but we do not have complete information about them. One such thing is the handles above the doors in the car. You all must have seen this, but have you ever wondered what is the real function of these handles? Why are these planted next to each other? Why not in the middle? Believe me, many people will not have correct information about this. Experts have explained its functions.
Briefly you can say that these grab handles are used by people sitting in the car. When the driver turns the car too fast, or tries to drive away quickly. So the person sitting inside is saved from falling by holding it. But you will be surprised to know that this was not the purpose of installing it. According to Cars.com, it has been installed for those people who are unable to get in or out of the car without assistance. So that people can easily get in or out of the car by holding it. They should not face any inconvenience.
The main reason for using this
Grab handles are specially fitted for disabled, elderly and pregnant people. If someone comes in a wheelchair, he can easily hold it and go inside. That is why it is applied on doors only. If there was a question of providing facilities to other passengers, perhaps it would have been placed in the front. That’s why there are facilities like armrests and automatic-lock shoulder seat belts for other passengers. Which provides comfort to the passengers during bumpy journeys. In today’s times, the utility of grab handle has reduced considerably, despite this the companies are not ready to give up it.
Why is the steering not in the middle?
One more thing, this question might have come in your mind that why the steering is not in the middle. Why is it kept only on the right or left? Actually, there is a reason behind this also. Engineers designing cars believe that having the steering wheel on the side helps the driver to keep an eye on the distance. He takes a little edge and gets to know which vehicle is moving in front of the next vehicle. Today, where there is a left hand drive, the steering is placed on the straight hand and where there is a right hand drive, the steering is placed on the opposite hand.
