very common to see the passenger in France with feet up on the dashboard

 

[emjaiuk]

I thought it was illegal in several European countries

No one travels with there feet on the dash when I’m driving.

firstly feet on my dash is a no go.

secondly you’ll just submarine the seat belt on impact.

 

[Notts Archer]

Thanks Mrs A, the wife has taken note and will now have to find another way to sit in the navigators seat.

See loads of Eastern European truck drivers with a foot on the dash.

And a brick on the pedal!

 

[meanders]

I did it when my leg was in plaster above the knee and swelled up inside if not elevated.

 

[Silver-Fox]

Seen this before.

Im pretty sure this was the result of an air bag going off.

I have tried to explain this to Dee to stop her doing it, with her shoes on, I get peed off because she has her shoes on and it marks the dash.

Can’t understand why people place their feet in the dash or just leave their arm out of a window and other actions whilst in a vehicle whilst driving

 

[Pusscat]

I was paragliding in Turkey…found out after I’d had my flight, apparently someone the previous week had a very bad landing. Similar thing, femur heads rammed up through the pelvis. Ouch…

When I was 17 I was traveling as a passenger in a Bedford 7.5 ton flatbed wagon delivering turf, when the driver decided to take a detour into a ditch I had my feet up on the dash and on impact went through the windscreen feet first, ended up sat uninjured in the ditch, the dash was pushed back into the seat I was sat in, had I had my feet down I would have had crushed legs, no seat belt in them days.

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

Every time I see people doing this and I see it regularly, I think of the last time you posted the picture.
I sent it to our kids then and they sent it to friends.
Shocking but needs to be seen. Thanks

Yep, William betz drivers did it all the while

It was, but it can happen anyway.

I have tried to explain this to Dee to stop her doing it, with her shoes on, I get peed off because she has her shoes on and it marks the dash.

Here's hoping she stops doing it when she see's this.
Robert has seen this several times in his career.

You are welcome, it was Robert who posted it last time, but a reminder is never a bad thing.

A bus ploughs into a bus stop full of people and kills them all, it's best to stand in the middle of the road.
You were just lucky in one incident.

 

[Mrsambulancekidd]

A third of all pelvic traumas die.
Now that is pretty high odds if you are daft enough to risk it.
I know there are plenty of other ways to do yourself harm, but why line yourself up for it.

 

[tacr2man]

Went to a local rtc in Australia , wife of a town teacher had feet up on dash , they hit a large kangaroo , result 1 head of femur snapped off , other head pushed thru pelvic socket , had to be airlifted to Perth and took her over year to be able to walk with two sticks .!! It was a common practice in OZ due to long empty roads , people only worry about other vehicles .

 

[Gromett]

My first thought was probably not the right target audience for this warning.

I think most of us are of an age where we wish we could get our legs that high

Blimey that's some statistic because I've had a fair few pelvic traumas although in fairness most of them have been on a Saturday up a wall behind a night club

I remember our first ever European trip in our new to us Bessacarr, took teenage step daughter with us, whilst complaining about feeling sick and that she was hot and how she must sit in the front…….. I’m mostly a pretty happy traveller so gave up my pride and joy position only to see bare feet stuck up in the air on my dash -
Just seems an odd thing to do ….. actually she drives her self now , wondering if she might give me a lift sometime

 

[bigwood]

I was in hospital during my army days with a guy that fell out of a second floor window and broke the head off both femurs. He said he was absolutely steaming drunk and decided to use the window instead of the toilet. Sober he would have not fallen upright.
He was attended by a German ambulance and taken to a German hospital. He was moved to the military hospital awaiting transfer to the uk for medical discharge. The doctors said he shouldn’t have survived. The shock alone would be fatal normally.

 

[glenn2926]

Been to two of those type incidents. Messy!!! I don’t tell people to not do it though. If they’re stupid enough to think travelling with their feet on the dash is a good idea then me telling them it’s not isn’t going to have any bearing on their continued safety. They are interesting incidents to deal with.

 

[TinaLes]

When travelling in the van and we are stuck somewhere in heavy traffic like a motorway, thats the favourite time to see the neighbouring car with the wife or girlfriend, usualy on phone, with pale bare, sweaty, swollen looking feet, that seem almost glued to the dashboard in the car next to me.
Not only is it dangerous, but it just turns my stomach somehow, always has, always will, especially when my OH TinaL, laughs and says something like, dont look at the car next door, the passenger is doing your pet hate.
Bare feet on the dash....Yuk!
There I have said it now.
LES
