1.High heels,coffee cups and dogs have been regarded as three of the most dangerous things to have in a car.The seemingly harmless items have been responsible for more than 13million crashes and near misses on Britain's roads.While men were responsible for the greater number of accidents reported,women played their part by driving in high heels.Putting fashion over function meant 44percent of female motorists had been prevented from using the pedals correctly by their high heels-with those aged 25to 34accounting for most of the incidents reported.
Those keen for a caffeine kick while driving can also create an accident if they leave empty coffee cups lying around their vehicle.Twenty percent of those surveyed admitted they had crashed their car or had a near miss after a deserted coffee cup or empty drink bottle rolled under their brake pedal(刹车踏板).
However,it is not just wearing and eating that cause a threat from inside the car,man's best friend could also cause a catastrophe if not safely secured.One in eight motorists claimed to have had a scrape(刮檫)or near miss on the road due to their dog's wandering freely,climbing into the front seat or trying to escape through the windows.
The accidents meant drivers took their eyes off the road for more than three seconds each time,according to the poll of 2,000British motorists.The survey has found drivers will pick up an average bill of£261.47for the damage caused by every crash.Londoners were the most at risk of an accident closely followed by motorists in the West Midland and Wales.
Janet Connor,a managing director,said many accidents could be avoided if people cleaned their cars regularly,as one in ten drivers involved in crashes admitted to driving inside a mountain of debris.She said,"The possible dangers and distractions outside the car are well known but as the evidence suggests,those within the car are often forgotten."

A.the coffee may make them feel faint

B.Dogs may make the inside of the car dirty.
C.Dogs may walk around or even try to escape.
