I will add it's also not a good idea because you should have your feet at the pedals ready to brake etc

Perhaps a warning in the title, or spoiler alert on the image?

Why ?

If you are incapable of working it out I'm not going to bother explaining it to you

Cheers

Are we going all BBC/snowflake where we need warnings on everything?

Sorry Red. I’ve edited the thread title to warn that it’s not nice viewing. Didn’t mean to upset anyone, but wanted to raise awareness, that’s all. Apologies.

Yes, full snowflake. Unicorns, and pretty coloured flags only these days.

I would imagine that the warning would apply to passengers, although I have seen an idiot on his own with the cruise control on, driving while his feet were lain across the length of the dash.

Wow - that’s going to need some serious surgery!

I thought we were all capable of assessing risk of being offended, not exactly a mass murder.

I've only ever had one person put their feet up on my dashboard... one of my daughter's friends. He didn't do it again!!! Grrrrrr

Nothing to do with injuries: although I did want to clout him.

 

[Gina M]

I have seen something similar a few years ago. Certainly stopped me from doing it.

I mum used to say to me. “ don’t come running to me if you break your leg”.

I use cruise control if I've had more than 6 pints of lager

 

[dash300]

Beyond me why anyone would want to do it anyway!

 

[Wildbill]

My brother was a traffic cop he told me of a tenager who was involved in a fattile RTC automatic car driving on cruise control ended up almost cut in two by the steering column with most of his insides around the steering column.
By brother held his hand as he passed away

That's got to hurt

I do not think an apology was needed.

If someone posts a photo of a cigarette packet with horrible lungs portrayed does one have to put a warning on the post?

I agree with Karl Gromett

Thanks nicholsong, much appreciated. I’d far rather apologise if someone has taken inadvertent offence, though.

I have shown this to John numerous times, but he persists.
when young I used to put my feet on the front parcel shelf, under the dash. Was involved in a near miss, fortunately for me the shelf gave way, had setbelt bruising on neck and shoulder, must have been mid 60s as i wasn't driving. I cringe every time he puts his feet up.

Love to be able to lift my legs that high, what with the dicky hips, bad back and old age aches and pains.

Yes, i use mine every day

Warning, this picture shows hundreds of lives lost, decimated and includes graphic images of damaged bodies.

People of a weak disposition are asked not to view..



















Surely life itself is dangerous and full of unpleasantness?


So whereabouts does one draw the line?

My other hobby is knitting & crochet and I am aghast at how many people knit/crochet whilst a front seat passenger in a car. A knitting needle or crochet hook embedded in your body is not the kind of piercing anyone wants.
