Most of the people who have cars have car accessories. That is qiute normal and in addition even gives the information about the owner, about preferred colors, shapes and taste in general. The given insight into drivers personalities costs much more than we can imagine. Swinton, the UK's leading high street car insurance retailer, is warning that drivers 'pimping up their rides' may be putting them in potential danger.

According to the PRWEB, British drivers spend £320million per year on car accessories (Max Power Magazine). But according to the Swinton in the last two years an astounding 5% of all their motor accident insurance claims have involved car accessories either distracting drivers or obstructing motorists views.
A Swinton spokesperson said: "It is frightening the number of accidents that are caused by car accessories, while it is great that motorists can personalise their motors caution is needed to insure that these accessories do not interfere with driving. We had one case when a female accidentally set her fluffy steering wheel cover alight when lighting a cigarette, luckily she was unharmed but the interior of her car had extensive smoke damage."

"Many of these accidents could be avoided if more care had been taken, these incidents are not only dangerous for drivers but they may also cause their car insurance premiums to rise. Swinton advises that drivers make sure that all car accessories are carefully placed so that they do not obstruct the drivers view in any way and that they are securely attached."

Swinton have compiled a list of the current top ten car accessories in the UK:
1. Fluffy dice
2. Steering wheel covers
3. Car air fresheners
4. Multi-coloured tax disk holders
5. Car signs (e.g. Babe on Board)
6. Standing cartoon characters
7. Interior car neon lighting
8. Car seat covers
9. Diamante gear knobs
10. Seatbelt harness pads
