Which is the most suitable and safest place to transport the load in a car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The ideal place par excellence is the trunk. By placing the load here, it is physically separated from the passengers, preventing objects from being thrown into the passenger cabin in the event of sudden braking or an accident (known as the 'elephant effect'). If you use the passenger cabin, you run the risk of serious injury. If you use the roof rack, you should know that it is a secondary option (when the trunk is not big enough) because it raises the vehicle's center of gravity, affecting its stability, and increases fuel consumption because of aerodynamic drag.
