Keeping Holiday Loads Safe: How to Carry Gifts and Luggage Without Risk

December brings heavy shopping trips, family visits, and long cross-country journeys, leaving many vehicles packed with gifts, bags, and seasonal supplies. However, poorly secured items pose a serious but often overlooked danger. Even at moderate speeds, loose objects can turn into projectiles during sudden braking or collisions, distracting the driver or injuring passengers. Placing heavy items in the boot and pushing them firmly against the rear seats greatly reduces movement, and using straps or cargo nets keeps everything stable.

Weight distribution is also important. An overloaded rear can affect steering, braking performance, and even headlight angle, increasing the risk of dazzling other drivers at night. Inside the cabin, keeping seats clear is the safest practice; if items must be carried, store them low in the footwells rather than on shelves or seats.

With a few minutes of preparation before each journey, drivers can make festive travel safer, calmer, and better protected for everyone inside the vehicle.
