Whats the point of those roof handles in cars?
Answers:
Aren't you the lucky one, many people need help to get in and out of cars, me for one. They are not for hanging clothes on they are for pulling yourself up, or to help when lowering yourself into the seat.
I need them to hang on to when my mum is driving!
We call them "Grannie Handles". They give granny something to hang on to when climbing into the car.
I have always wondered that myself! I mean, especially the ones on the driver's side!! Shouldn't the driver be holding onto the steering wheel?
I don`t know but,they have come in handy after a few drinks when I am trying to get out of the taxi..!
It's a panic handle for sharp cornering, or to help you if your vehicle rolls over or maybe if you have more passengers than you have seat belts. And yes they are good for hanging things off of.
i use them cos im pregnant and find it difficult to get in and out without them!
the roof handles in my car are used for hanging shirts up. i also use them regularly when my wife drives the car, i know they won't save me, but it is a bit of a comfort
We call them "scream bars." I guess they're what you grab if the driver slams on the brakes or does anything that scares the daylights out of you!
My short wife loves those. She grabs them when crawling in and out of my Toyota Tundra. That's what they're for!
The correct technical name for these are Jesus handles.
Every time you look like you might be almost crashing everbody grabs it & shouts JESUS.
This is not a joke.
Mechanics in Northern Ireland Use this as technical term as a normal day to day phrase. Honestly..
dont know bout the one on the drivers side but my ex wife used to use it whn u was kickin crap outa my car lol apart from tht its probably jst those dodgy suit wearing types tht use them
ah,the ohshit handels. welp,they can be used for a variety of purposes.
Everybody knows that,they are used as a sex aid
The proper name for them is "grab handles" - which isn't really a useful description, because a handle you didn't grab probably wouldn't be a handle.
They are to help the elderly, infirm or mildly disabled get into and out of the car. If you watch old people getting out of a car you'll notice they often pull themselves up to standing from sitting with one hand holding the grab handle, and the other on the door.
I wish they had one the drivers side, so I can steer with one hand, which I always do, and the other hand on the handle.
