If you own a car, you've probably already noticed these handles above the doors. Many believe that they are only there to stand on turbulent journeys. Yet their function goes far beyond this misconception. Few people know their real value, and some may even be surprised to learn how practical they are on a daily basis.
Valuable help in getting in and out of the vehicle
Contrary to popular belief, these handles are not only intended to offer additional support during tight turns or sudden braking. Their main role is to facilitate the entry and exit of the vehicle, in particular for certain categories of passengers such as:
Older people, who may have difficulty moving easily.
Pregnant women, for whom every movement can be a challenge.
Persons with reduced mobility, who need an additional support point.
According to car experts, these handles offer better stability and reduce the effort needed to sit or get up from the seat.
Why does the driver not need it?
The driver must rely on the steering wheel, specially designed to help him enter and leave his vehicle safely.
The handles placed above the passenger doors are strategically positioned to be used without interfering with the driving of the vehicle.
