Vehicle accessories can serve a range of purposes to enhance the overall driver experience. One of the most important ways in which they can help is by improving the safety of your car. Whether this is through the form of improved driver control or safety kits, adding certain accessories can elevate the day-to-day safety of your vehicle.
In this blog, we’ll be going over the different car accessories that can be implemented in your vehicle for additional safety. Here at Cox Motor Parts, we stock a wide variety of car accessories for popular car brands, including Honda, VW and Seat. Continue reading to learn more about how the simple introduction of car accessories can make you a more responsible driver.
Enhanced Visibility
One of the most important factors when it comes to road safety is having good visibility. For those instances where you’re faced with fog, rain, or even snow in your journey, you’ll want to be sure that you can see the road as clearly as possible to avoid accidents. This includes ensuring that your headlights are clean and working properly. Dim or dirty headlights can significantly impact your ability to drive safely, particularly at night or in poor conditions. Accessories such as the Autoglym Headlight Restoration Complete Kit can make your headlights function as good as new and make the process quick and easy. If you’ve noticed that your headlights perhaps aren’t performing their best, then investing in a kit such as this can make a world of difference when it comes to road safety.Â
Safety Kits and Emergency Tools
When it comes to safety, it’s also important to be prepared for those instances where things might not go to plan. Whether you’ve broken down or were involved in a collision, having the right accessories readily available in your car can save you in a crisis situation. For a roadside safety kit that covers all bases, you should have a first aid kit, emergency triangles and any other helpful tools like torches. We stock a selection of emergency essentials like the Seat Magnetic Emergency Breakdown Flashlight, which gives you extra exposure during a breakdown on a busy motorway. Moreover, the Honda First Aid Kit contains all the materials you may need for those roadside emergencies, including bandages, dressings, and scissors. Staying prepared can save lives, which is why it is essential to equip your vehicle with the proper emergency tools.
Interior Safety Features
Whilst visibility and emergency kits are a great way to level up the safety of your vehicle, there are some more indirect ways to improve the outcome of a collision or accident within your car’s interior. Aside from the standard safety features like airbags and seatbelts, we offer several accessories that can improve safety while driving. Boot liners, for instance, not only help protect the car’s interior, but can also help keep items secure whilst driving. We offer boot liners for all kinds of car models, including our VW Passat CC Boot Flexible Boot Tray / Liner. For larger objects such as suitcases, investing in a luggage net can help prevent heavy items becoming projectile in the event of an accident. If you are someone who needs additional accessibility features, then adding a tailgate strap, like the Honda Jazz Hybrid Tailgate Strap can help in the closing of your car’s boot. These accessories help to ensure that your vehicle is both safe and organised for both the driver and passengers.
Improved Traction and Control
When adverse weather conditions strike, it’s important to ensure that both the interior and exterior of your car are prepared. This includes within the driver’s seat. If you have stepped on wet or muddy ground, then your footwear may not be able to fully control your car. This is why all-weather floor mats are a great solution for your vehicle. Their anti-slip properties in the driver’s seat help to prevent any unplanned movements that could lead to accidents. Choose from rubber or carpet mats depending on your preference, and we have a selection of all-weather floor mats catering to different vehicles for you to select. Simply search ‘floor mats’ into our website and find your car.
Windscreen Protection Accessories
So far, we’ve covered how car accessories can improve driving experience and assist in the event of an accident. However, a concern for many is protection against theft and weathering whilst your car is unattended. Windscreen covers are a fantastic solution for protecting your vehicle’s glass from scratches, damage, and theft. Covers are useful in both cold and warm temperatures, as in the winter they protect your car from frost or snow, and in the summer, they help keep the vehicle’s interior cool during a heatwave. We stock high-quality windscreen protection accessories, such as the Honda Civic Windscreen Cover 2023 Onwards, so that you can keep your windscreen in top shape whilst deterring potential thieves.
Incorporating the right accessories into your car can provide both aesthetic and safety benefits, making them a worthwhile purchase. From improved visibility to emergency preparedness, the accessories we supply can help with peace of mind whilst you’re out on the road.
